    The   angle   between   straight   lines\[\overrightarrow{r}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k}+s(3\hat{i}-\hat{k})\]and\[\vec{r}=(1-t)(4\hat{i}-\hat{j})+t(2\hat{i}+\hat{j})-3\hat{k}\] is:

    A)  0                                            

    B)  \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{18}{(15\sqrt{14})} \right]\]

    C)  \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{-3}{\sqrt{20}} \right]\]                            

    D)  \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2}{\sqrt{102}} \right)\]

    E)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given that, \[\overrightarrow{r}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k}+s(3\hat{i}-\hat{k})\] and \[\overrightarrow{r}=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}-3k+t(-4\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{i}+\hat{j})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\vec{r}=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}-3\hat{k}+t(-2\hat{i}+2\hat{j})\] \[\therefore \]  \[\cos \theta =\frac{{{\overrightarrow{b}}_{1}}.{{\overrightarrow{b}}_{2}}}{|{{\overrightarrow{b}}_{1}}||{{\overrightarrow{b}}_{2}}|}\]                 \[=\frac{(3\hat{i}-\hat{k}).(-2\hat{i}+2\hat{j})}{\sqrt{{{(3)}^{2}}+{{(-1)}^{2}}}\sqrt{{{(-2)}^{2}}+{{(2)}^{2}}}}\]                 \[=\frac{-6}{\sqrt{9+1}\sqrt{4+4}}=\frac{-6}{\sqrt{80}}\]                 \[=-\frac{6}{2\sqrt{20}}=\frac{-3}{\sqrt{20}}\] \[\theta ={{\cos }^{-1}}\left( \frac{-3}{\sqrt{20}} \right)\]
