The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the lines We have two lines given as: 1. Line L1: \( x = y = z \) 2. Line L2: \( x = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{3} \) We also have a third line passing through the point \( (1, 1, 1) \). ### Step 2: Parametrize the lines For Line L1, we can express it in parametric form: - Let \( x = t \), then \( y = t \) and \( z = t \). So, the parametric form of Line L1 is: \[ (t, t, t) \] For Line L2, we can express it in parametric form: - Let \( x = s \), then \( y = 2s \) and \( z = 3s \). So, the parametric form of Line L2 is: \[ (s, 2s, 3s) \] ### Step 3: Find the direction ratios The direction ratios for Line L1 (OA) are: - \( \text{Direction ratios of OA} = (1, 1, 1) \) The direction ratios for Line L2 (OB) are: - \( \text{Direction ratios of OB} = (1, 2, 3) \) ### Step 4: Area of the triangle The area of the triangle formed by points O (origin), A (1, 1, 1), and B (unknown point on Line L2) is given as \( \sqrt{6} \). The area of a triangle formed by vectors OA and OB can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \| \text{OA} \times \text{OB} \| \] where \( \| \text{OA} \times \text{OB} \| \) is the magnitude of the cross product of the vectors OA and OB. ### Step 5: Calculate the cross product Let \( \text{OA} = (1, 1, 1) \) and \( \text{OB} = (s, 2s, 3s) \). The cross product \( \text{OA} \times \text{OB} \) is calculated as follows: \[ \text{OA} \times \text{OB} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ s & 2s & 3s \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the determinant: \[ = \hat{i}(1 \cdot 3s - 1 \cdot 2s) - \hat{j}(1 \cdot 3s - 1 \cdot s) + \hat{k}(1 \cdot 2s - 1 \cdot s) \] \[ = \hat{i}(3s - 2s) - \hat{j}(3s - s) + \hat{k}(2s - s) \] \[ = \hat{i}(s) - \hat{j}(2s) + \hat{k}(s) \] So, \( \text{OA} \times \text{OB} = (s, -2s, s) \). ### Step 6: Magnitude of the cross product The magnitude is given by: \[ \| \text{OA} \times \text{OB} \| = \sqrt{s^2 + (-2s)^2 + s^2} = \sqrt{s^2 + 4s^2 + s^2} = \sqrt{6s^2} = s\sqrt{6} \] ### Step 7: Area of the triangle Using the area formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \| \text{OA} \times \text{OB} \| = \frac{1}{2} s\sqrt{6} \] Setting this equal to the given area \( \sqrt{6} \): \[ \frac{1}{2} s\sqrt{6} = \sqrt{6} \] Dividing both sides by \( \sqrt{6} \): \[ \frac{1}{2} s = 1 \implies s = 2 \] ### Step 8: Find the point of intersection Substituting \( s = 2 \) into the parametric equations of Line L2: \[ x = 2, \quad y = 2 \cdot 2 = 4, \quad z = 3 \cdot 2 = 6 \] Thus, the point of intersection of the third line with the second line is \( (2, 4, 6) \). ### Final Answer The point of intersection of the third line with the second line is: \[ \boxed{(2, 4, 6)} \]

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the lines We have two lines given as: 1. Line L1: \( x = y = z \) 2. Line L2: \( x = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{3} \) We also have a third line passing through the point \( (1, 1, 1) \). ...
