Detailed Solution
Both the lines pass through the origin. Line L1, is parallel to the vector V1→V→1=(cosθ+3)i^+(2sinθ)j^+(cosθ−3)k^Line L1, is parallel to the vector V2→V→2=ai^+bj^+ck^∴ cosα=V→1⋅V→2V→1V→2=a(cosθ+3)+(b2)sinθ+c(cosθ−3)a2+b2+c2(cosθ+3)2+2sin2θ+(cosθ−3)2=(a+c)cosθ+b2sinθ+(a−c)3a2+b2+c22+6For cos a to be independent of θ we get a+c=0 and b=0∴ cosα=2a3a222=32 or α=π6
