Detailed Solution

Given eqs are l + m + n = 0 ...(1)
2mn+3nl5lm=0 ...(2)
Case (i) : From eq (1), m = –l – n
Substituting m = – l – n in eq (2)
2(ln)n+3nl5l(ln)=02ln2n2+3nl+5l2+5ln=05l2+6ln2n2=0
 dividing  both sides by n2 5l2n2+6ln2=0(3)
 Let roots of equation (3) are l1n1,l2n2
 Product of roots =ca
l1n1l2n2=25l1l22=n1n25
Case (ii): From eq (1) l = – m – n
Substituting l = – m – n in eq (2)
2mn+3n(mn)5(mn)m=02mn3mn3n2+5m2+5mn=05m2+4mn3n2=0 dividing both sides by n25m2n2+4mn3=0 (4) 
 Let m1n1,m2n2 are roots of eq (4) 
 Product of roots =ca
m1n1m2n2=35m1m23=n1n25
From case (i) & (ii)
l1l22=m1m23=n1n25=kl1l2=2k;m1m2=3k;n1n2=5kl1l2+m1m2+n1n2=2k3k+5k=5k+5k=0
 Given lines are perpendicular to each other
