Solution

The correct option is C Antiparallel
$\to A = 3^i + 4^j + 5^k$
$\to B = 4^i + 5^j + 6^k$
$\to C = 7^i + 9^j + 3^k$
$\to D = 4^i + 6^j$
$- - \to A B = \to B - \to A$
$= (4^i + 5^j + 5^k) - (3^i + 4^j + 5^k)$
$=^i +^j +^k$

$- - \to C D = \to D - \to C$
$= (4^i + 5^j) - (7^i + 9^j + 3^k)$
$= - 3^i - 3^j - 3^k$
SInce $- - \to C D = λ (- - \to A B) (where, λ = - 3)$
Therefore , they are antiparallel.
