Solution

The correct option is A Only $L_{1} L_{2}$
Given lines:
$L_{1} : \to r = \land 3 i - \land j + 2 \land k + λ (2 \land i + 4 \land j - \land k)$
$L_{2} : \to r = \land i - \land j + 3 \land k + μ (4 \land i + 2 \land j + 4 \land k)$
$L_{3} : \to r = \land 3 i + \land 2 j - 2 \land k + t (2 \land i + \land j + \land 2 k)$
The condition for lines to be on same plane is that their determinant = 0
Lets do it for $L_{1}, L_{2}$
$L_{1} : \to r = \land 3 i - \land j + 2 \land k + λ (2 \land i + 4 \land j - \land k)$
$L_{2} : \to r = \land i - \land j + 3 \land k + μ (4 \land i + 2 \land j + 4 \land k)$
In the 3 X 3 determinant, we take direction vectors of two lines and difference of position vector in 3rd .
$Δ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 2 & 4 & - 1 4 & 2 & 4 2 & 0 & - 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 2 [- 2 - 0] - 4 [- 4 - 8] - 1 [0 - 4] = - 4 + 48 + 4 = 48 \neq 0$
Here, lets check $L_{2} and L_{3}$
$L_{2} : \to r = \land i - \land j + 3 \land k + μ (4 \land i + 2 \land j + 4 \land k)$
$L_{3} : \to r = \land 3 i + \land 2 j - 2 \land k + t (2 \land i + \land j + \land 2 k)$
$Δ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 4 & 2 & 4 2 & 1 & 2 - 2 & - 3 & 5 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 4 [5 - (- 6)] - 2 [10 - (- 4)] + 4 [- 6 - (- 2)] = 44 - 28 - 16 = 0$
As $Δ = 0$
$L_{2} and L_{3}$ are in same plane.
Similarly for
$L_{3} : \to r = \land 3 i + \land 2 j - 2 \land k + t (2 \land i + \land j + \land 2 k)$
$L_{1} : \to r = \land 3 i - \land j + 2 \land k + λ (2 \land i + 4 \land j - \land k)$
$Δ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 & 2 2 & 4 & - 1 0 & 3 & - 4 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 2 [- 16 - (- 3)] - 1 [- 8 - (0)] + 2 [6 - (0)] = 26 + 8 + 12 = - 6$
As $Δ \neq 0$
$L_{1} and L_{3}$ are also not in same plane.
