    The angle between the straight lines \[\frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y-1}{5}=\frac{z+3}{-3}\]and \[\frac{x+1}{-1}=\frac{y-4}{8}=\frac{z-5}{4}\]is [DCE 2005]

    A)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{13}{9\sqrt{38}} \right)\]

    B)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{26}{9\sqrt{38}} \right)\]

    C)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{4}{\sqrt{38}} \right)\]

    D)                                                               \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{19}} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[\cos \theta =\frac{2\times (-1)+5\times 8+(-3)\times 4}{\sqrt{{{2}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}+{{(-3)}^{2}}}\sqrt{{{(-1)}^{2}}+{{8}^{2}}+{{4}^{2}}}}\]                 \[\cos \theta =\frac{-2+40-12}{9\sqrt{38}}\]\[=\left( \frac{26}{9\sqrt{38}} \right)\]                                                                       \ \[\theta ={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{26}{9\sqrt{38}} \right)\].
