Q.

L1 and L2 are two lines whose vector equations are L1 : r¯=λ((cosθ+3)i¯+(2sinθ)j¯+(cosθ3)k¯) ; L2 : r¯=μ(ai¯+bj¯+ck¯)

Where λ and μ are scalars and α is the acute angle between L1 and L2. If the angle α (is independent of θ ) is equal to πk then k = _____

Detailed Solution

Both the  lines passes through the origin line L1 is  parallel to the vector 

V¯1=(cosθ+3)i¯+(2sinθ)j¯+(cosθ3)k¯

And L2 is parallel to the vector V¯2=ai¯+bj¯+ck¯

cosα=a(cosθ+3)+b(2sinθ)+c(cosθ3a2+b2+c2(cosθ+3)2+(2sinθ)2(cosθ3)2           =(a+c)cosθ+b2sinθ+(ac)3a2+b2+c28

α is independent of θ

a+c=0.b=0cosα=(ac)32a22=2a32a22=32;α=π6
