The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the given pair of lines, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the direction ratios of the lines The equations of the lines are given in symmetric form. We can extract the direction ratios from these equations. For the first line: \[ \frac{x + 3}{3} = \frac{y - 1}{5} = \frac{z + 3}{4} \] The direction ratios (denoted as \( l_1, m_1, n_1 \)) for the first line are \( (3, 5, 4) \). For the second line: \[ \frac{x + 1}{1} = \frac{y - 4}{1} = \frac{z - 5}{2} \] The direction ratios (denoted as \( l_2, m_2, n_2 \)) for the second line are \( (1, 1, 2) \). ### Step 2: Use the formula for the angle between two lines The cosine of the angle \( \theta \) between two lines with direction ratios \( (l_1, m_1, n_1) \) and \( (l_2, m_2, n_2) \) is given by the formula: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{l_1 l_2 + m_1 m_2 + n_1 n_2}{\sqrt{l_1^2 + m_1^2 + n_1^2} \sqrt{l_2^2 + m_2^2 + n_2^2}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the numerator Substituting the direction ratios into the formula: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{(3)(1) + (5)(1) + (4)(2)}{\sqrt{3^2 + 5^2 + 4^2} \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2}} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ = 3 + 5 + 8 = 16 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the denominator Now we calculate the denominator: \[ \sqrt{3^2 + 5^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 25 + 16} = \sqrt{50} \] \[ \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 4} = \sqrt{6} \] Thus, the denominator becomes: \[ \sqrt{50} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \sqrt{300} = 10\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 5: Substitute back into the cosine formula Now substituting back into the cosine formula: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{16}{10\sqrt{3}} = \frac{8}{5\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 6: Find the angle \( \theta \) To find the angle \( \theta \), we take the inverse cosine: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{5\sqrt{3}}\right) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle between the given pair of lines is: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{5\sqrt{3}}\right) \]

To find the angle between the given pair of lines, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the direction ratios of the lines The equations of the lines are given in symmetric form.
