The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( \lambda \) such that the given lines are perpendicular to each other, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations of the lines in parametric form The equations of the lines are given as: 1. \(-\frac{x-1}{3} = \frac{7(y-2)}{2\lambda} = \frac{z-3}{2}\) 2. \(-\frac{7(x-1)}{3\lambda} = \frac{y-5}{1} = -\frac{(z-6)}{5}\) We can express these in parametric form. For the first line, let \( t \) be the parameter: \[ x = 1 - 3t, \quad y = 2 + \frac{2\lambda}{7}t, \quad z = 3 + 2t \] For the second line, let \( s \) be the parameter: \[ x = 1 - \frac{3\lambda}{7}s, \quad y = 5 + s, \quad z = 6 - 5s \] ### Step 2: Identify the direction ratios of both lines From the parametric equations, we can identify the direction ratios: For the first line: - Direction ratios \( a_1 = -3, b_1 = \frac{2\lambda}{7}, c_1 = 2 \) For the second line: - Direction ratios \( a_2 = -\frac{3\lambda}{7}, b_2 = 1, c_2 = -5 \) ### Step 3: Use the condition for perpendicularity Two lines are perpendicular if the dot product of their direction ratios is zero. Thus, we need to set up the equation: \[ a_1 a_2 + b_1 b_2 + c_1 c_2 = 0 \] Substituting the values: \[ (-3) \left(-\frac{3\lambda}{7}\right) + \left(\frac{2\lambda}{7}\right)(1) + (2)(-5) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Expanding the equation gives: \[ \frac{9\lambda}{7} + \frac{2\lambda}{7} - 10 = 0 \] Combining the terms: \[ \frac{11\lambda}{7} - 10 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( \lambda \) To isolate \( \lambda \): \[ \frac{11\lambda}{7} = 10 \] Multiplying both sides by 7: \[ 11\lambda = 70 \] Dividing by 11: \[ \lambda = \frac{70}{11} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( \lambda \) is: \[ \lambda = \frac{70}{11} \]
