  • question_answer
    The acute angle between the line joining the points (2,1,?3), (?3,1,7) and a line parallel to \[\frac{x-1}{3}=\] \[\frac{y}{4}=\frac{z+3}{5}\] through the point (?1, 0, 4) is [MP PET 1998]

    A)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{7}{5\sqrt{10}} \right)\]

    B)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \right)\]

    C)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{5\sqrt{10}} \right)\]

    D)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{5\sqrt{10}} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Direction ratio of the line joining the point \[(2,\,\,1,\,\,-3),\,\] \[\,(-\,3,\,\,1,\,\,7)\] are \[({{a}_{1}},\,\,{{b}_{1}},\,\,{{c}_{1}})\,\]                                 \[\,\Rightarrow \,\,(-\,3-2,\,\,1-1,\,\,7-(-3))\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,(-\,5,\,\,0,\,\,10)\]                 Direction ratio of the line parallel to line \[\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y}{4}=\frac{z+3}{5}\] are  \[({{a}_{2}},\,{{b}_{2}},\,\,{{c}_{2}})\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,(3,\,\,4,\,\,5)\]                 Angle between two lines,                 \[\cos \theta =\frac{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}+{{c}_{1}}{{c}_{2}}}{\sqrt{a_{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}+c_{1}^{2}}\sqrt{a_{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}+c_{2}^{2}}}\]                 \[\cos \theta =\frac{(-\,5\times 3)+(0\times 4)+(10\times 5)}{\sqrt{25+0+100}\sqrt{9+16+25}}\]                                                               \[\cos \theta =\frac{35}{25\sqrt{10}}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\theta ={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{7}{5\sqrt{10}} \right)\].
