Solution

The correct option is A ^i+2^j+^k
r1=a+λ^i
r1=(5^i+^j+2^k)+λ(4^i+^j^k)
r1=(54λ)^i+(1+λ)^j+(2λ)^k
r2=b+μm=(^i+7^j+8^k)+μ(2^i5^j7^k)
r2=(1+2μ)^i+(75μ)^j+(87μ)^k
Given r1 and r2 intersect at a part
(54λ)=(1+2μ)...(1) and (1+λ)=(75μ)...(2) and (2λ)=(87μ)...(3)
944λ=1+2μ
94(1+λ)=1+2μ
94(75μ)=1+2μ (from 2)
928+20μ=1+2μ
18μ=20μ=10/9
(1+λ)=75(109)
(1+λ)=139λ=1391
(λ=4/9)
(λ,μ)=(4/9,10/9)
Put (λ,μ) in (3)
LHS (24/9)=149
RHS 87(109)7270929
LHSRHS
There is no point that lies on both r1 and r2
