The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two lines given in the question and determine whether they intersect or not. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lines:** The first line is given by: \[ \vec{r_1} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \lambda (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) \] The second line is given by: \[ \vec{r_2} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \mu (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) \] 2. **Extract points and direction vectors:** For the first line, we can identify: - Point \( P_1 = (1, -1, 0) \) (from \(\hat{i} - \hat{j}\)) - Direction vector \( \vec{d_1} = (1, 1, -1) \) (from \(\lambda (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k})\)) For the second line, we have: - Point \( P_2 = (2, -1, 0) \) (from \(2\hat{i} - \hat{j}\)) - Direction vector \( \vec{d_2} = (1, 1, -1) \) (from \(\mu (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k})\)) 3. **Check if the lines are parallel:** The direction vectors of both lines are the same: \[ \vec{d_1} = \vec{d_2} = (1, 1, -1) \] Since the direction vectors are identical, the lines are parallel. 4. **Check if the lines intersect:** To check for intersection, we need to see if there exists values of \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) such that: \[ P_1 + \lambda \vec{d_1} = P_2 + \mu \vec{d_2} \] This translates to the following equations: \[ (1 + \lambda) = (2 + \mu) \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ (-1 + \lambda) = (-1 + \mu) \quad \text{(2)} \] \[ (0 - \lambda) = (0 - \mu) \quad \text{(3)} \] From equation (2): \[ \lambda = \mu \] Substituting \(\lambda = \mu\) into equation (1): \[ 1 + \lambda = 2 + \lambda \implies 1 = 2 \quad \text{(not possible)} \] Therefore, there are no values of \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) that satisfy all three equations simultaneously, confirming that the lines do not intersect. 5. **Conclusion:** - Statement 1 is true: The lines do not intersect. - Statement 2 is also true: Skew lines never intersect, but in this case, since the lines are parallel, they are not skew lines. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is also true, but Statement 2 does not correctly explain Statement 1.
