  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • B
    $-\frac{3}{2}$
  • C
    $3$
  • D

The equation of the line passing through the point $(1, 2, 3)$ and perpendicular to the lines $\frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y-2}{2} = \frac{z-3}{3}$ and $\bar{r} = \lambda(-3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k})$ is

The angle between the lines $\frac{x + 4}{1} = \frac{y - 3}{2} = \frac{z + 2}{3}$ and $\frac{x}{3} = \frac{y - 1}{-2} = \frac{z}{1}$ is

The direction ratios of a bisector of the angle between two lines whose direction ratios are $1, 1, 2$ and $\sqrt{3}, -\sqrt{3}, 0$ are

Assertion $(A)$: For the lines $\overline{r}=\overline{a}+t \overline{b}$ and $\overline{r}=\overline{p}+s \overline{q}$,if $(\bar{a}-\bar{p}) \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{q}) \neq 0$,then the two lines are coplanar.
Reason $(R)$: $|(\bar{a}-\bar{p}) \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{q})|$ is $|\bar{b} \times \bar{q}|$ times the shortest distance between the lines $\overline{r}=\overline{a}+t\bar{b}$ and $\overline{r}=\overline{p}+s \overline{q}$.
