Question

The direction ratios of two lines L1 and L2 are <4,1,3> and <2,1,2> respectively. A vector V is perpendicular to L1 and L2 both such that |V|=15. If V=x1^i+x2^j+x3^k, then the value of |x1+x2+x3| is

Solution

Vector perpendicular to L1 and L2 is
∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k413212∣ ∣ ∣
=^i(2+3)^j(86)+^k(4+2)
=^i2^j2^k

Given, V=λ(^i2^j2^k)
Also, |PQ|=15
λ2(1+4+4)=(15)2
λ=±5
PQ=±(5^i10^j10^k)
Hence, the value of |x1+x2+x3| is 15.
