Solution

The correct option is C 0.02
Given lines
3x26=4y312=4z38
x232=y343=z342------(1)
2x12=3y22=4z38
x121=y2323=z342------(2)
on comparing both lines with general cartesian form
normal vector of line eq (1)
b=2^i+3^j+2^k
normal vector of line eq (2)
d=^i+23^j2^k
position vector of line eq (1)
a=23^i+34^j+34^k
position vector of line (2)
c=12^i+23^j+34^k
ca=12^i+23^j+34^k(23^i+34^j+34^k)
ca=12^i+23^j+34^k23^i34^j34^k
ca=16^i112^j
b×d=∣ ∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k2341232∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
b×d=^i(683)^j(44)+^k(433)
b×d=263^i+8^j53^k
formula to find distance between skews lines
SD=(ca)(b×d)b×d
SD=(16^i112^j)(263^i+8^j53^k)(263)2+82+(53)2
SD=2618812+06769+16+259
SD=76368459
SD=0.02
