Question
show that the lines r = (3i + 2j - 4k) +lambda(i + 2j + 2k) and r = (5i - 2j) + mu(3i + 2j + 6k) are intersecting . hence find their point of intersection

Solution
Dear student
The
position
vectors
of
arbitrary
points
on
the
given
lines
are
3
i
+
2
j
-
4
k
+
λ
i
+
2
j
+
2
k
=
3
+
λ
i
+

λ
j

-
4

λ
k
and
5
i
-
2
j
+
μ
3
i

6
k
=
5
+
3
μ
i
+
-
2
+
2
μ
j
+
6
μ
k
respectively
If
the
lines
intersect
,
then
they
have
a
common
point
.
So
for
some
values
of
λ
and
μ
,
we
must
have
3
+
λ
i
+
2
+
2
λ
j
+
-
4
+
2
λ
k
=
5
+
3
μ
i
+
-
2
+
2
μ
j
+
6
μ
k
⇒
3
+
λ
=
5
+
3
μ
,
2
+
2
λ
=
-
2
+
2
μ
,
-
4
+
2
λ
=
6
μ
on
equating
coefficients
of
i
,
j
and
k
Solving
the
last
two
equation
,
we
get
λ
=
-
4
and
μ
=
-
2
These
values
of
λ
and
μ
satisy
the
equation
3
+
λ
=
5
+
3
μ
.
so
the
given
lines
intersect
.
Put
λ
=
-
4
in
the
first
line
,
we
get
r
→
=
3
i
+
2
j
-

-
4
i
+

j
+
2
k
=
-
i
-
6
j
-
12
k
as
the
position
vector
of
the
point
of
intersection
.
Thus
the
coordintes
of
point
of
intersection
are
-
1
,
-
