The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the line through the point \( \mathbf{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k} \) and perpendicular to the given lines, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the direction ratios of the given lines The first line is given by: \[ \mathbf{r} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + s(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) \] The direction ratios of this line can be extracted from the coefficient of \( s \): \[ \mathbf{d_1} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k} \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2, 1, -3) \] The second line is given by: \[ \mathbf{r} = 3\hat{i} - 5\hat{k} + t(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) \] The direction ratios of this line can be extracted from the coefficient of \( t \): \[ \mathbf{d_2} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \quad \Rightarrow \quad (1, 1, 1) \] ### Step 2: Find the direction ratios of the line perpendicular to both lines To find a line that is perpendicular to both given lines, we need to take the cross product of their direction ratios \( \mathbf{d_1} \) and \( \mathbf{d_2} \). Let: \[ \mathbf{d_1} = (2, 1, -3) \quad \text{and} \quad \mathbf{d_2} = (1, 1, 1) \] The cross product \( \mathbf{d_1} \times \mathbf{d_2} \) is calculated using the determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating this determinant: \[ = \hat{i} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} - \hat{j} \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} + \hat{k} \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating each of the 2x2 determinants: 1. \( \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (1)(1) - (-3)(1) = 1 + 3 = 4 \) 2. \( \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(1) - (-3)(1) = 2 + 3 = 5 \) 3. \( \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(1) - (1)(1) = 2 - 1 = 1 \) Putting it all together: \[ \mathbf{d} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 1\hat{k} \quad \Rightarrow \quad (4, -5, 1) \] ### Step 3: Write the equation of the line The equation of a line in vector form can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{r} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda \mathbf{b} \] where \( \mathbf{a} \) is a point on the line, \( \mathbf{b} \) is the direction vector, and \( \lambda \) is a scalar parameter. Substituting \( \mathbf{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{b} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 1\hat{k} \): \[ \mathbf{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}) \] ### Final Equation Thus, the equation of the line is: \[ \mathbf{r} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k} + \lambda(4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}) \]
