Question:

The direction ratios of the line perpendicular to the lines $\frac{x-7}{2}=\frac{y+17}{-3}=\frac{z-6}{1}$ and $\frac{x+5}{1}=\frac{y+3}{2}=\frac{z-4}{-2}$ are proportional to

Options:

4, 5, 7

4, -5, 7

4, -5, -7

-4, 5, 7

Correct Answer:

4, 5, 7

Explanation:

Let the direction ratios of the line perpendicular to the given lines be proportional to a, b, c. Then,

$2a - 3b + c = 0 $ and $a + 2b -2c=0$

$∴ \frac{a}{4}=\frac{b}{5}=\frac{c}{7}⇒ a : b : c = 4 : 5 : 7 $
