The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the given lines are parallel, non-parallel and intersecting, or non-parallel and non-intersecting, we will analyze the equations of the lines step-by-step. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines The equations of the lines are given as: 1. **Line 1**: \[ \vec{r_1} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} + \lambda(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}) \] 2. **Line 2**: \[ \vec{r_2} = 2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} + \mu(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \] ### Step 2: Extract direction ratios and points For **Line 1**: - Point: \( (1, -1, 3) \) - Direction ratios: \( (1, -1, 1) \) For **Line 2**: - Point: \( (2, 4, 6) \) - Direction ratios: \( (2, 1, 3) \) ### Step 3: Check for parallelism To check if the lines are parallel, we need to see if the direction ratios are proportional. We check if: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{-1}{1} = \frac{1}{3} \] Calculating these ratios: - \( \frac{1}{2} \) is not equal to \( -1 \) - \( \frac{1}{2} \) is not equal to \( \frac{1}{3} \) Since the ratios are not equal, the lines are **not parallel**. ### Step 4: Check for intersection To check if the lines intersect, we can use the condition that if the lines intersect, the following must hold true: \[ \frac{x_1 - x_2}{a_1} = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{b_1} = \frac{z_1 - z_2}{c_1} \] Where \( (x_1, y_1, z_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2, z_2) \) are the points on the two lines, and \( (a_1, b_1, c_1) \) and \( (a_2, b_2, c_2) \) are the direction ratios. Using the points: - Point from Line 1: \( (1, -1, 3) \) - Point from Line 2: \( (2, 4, 6) \) Calculating: - \( x_1 - x_2 = 1 - 2 = -1 \) - \( y_1 - y_2 = -1 - 4 = -5 \) - \( z_1 - z_2 = 3 - 6 = -3 \) Now we check the ratios: \[ \frac{-1}{1} = -1, \quad \frac{-5}{-1} = 5, \quad \frac{-3}{1} = -3 \] Since the ratios \( -1 \), \( 5 \), and \( -3 \) are not equal, the lines do not intersect. ### Conclusion The given lines are **non-parallel and non-intersecting**. ---
