  • question_answer
    If the angle between the lines whose direction ratios are         2,?1 , 2 and a,  3, 5 be \[45{}^\circ \], then a =

    A)                                                               1

    B)                                                               2

    C)                                                               3

    D)                                                               4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[\cos \theta =\frac{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}+{{c}_{1}}{{c}_{2}}}{\sqrt{a_{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}+c_{1}^{2}}\sqrt{a_{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}+c_{2}^{2}}}\]                                 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2a-3+10}{\sqrt{{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}\,\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \,\,9\,({{a}^{2}}+34)=2\,{{[2a+7]}^{2}}=\,2\,[4{{a}^{2}}+28a+49]\]                                                                       \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{a}^{2}}-56a+208=0\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,a=4\].
