Question:

Let \( L_1 : \frac{x - 1}{1} = \frac{y - 2}{-1} = \frac{z - 1}{-1} \) and \( L_2 : \frac{x + 1}{1} = \frac{y - 2}{2} = \frac{z - 2}{2} \) be two lines. Let \( L_3 \) be a line passing through the point \( (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) \) and be perpendicular to both \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \). If \( L_3 \) intersects \( L_1 \) where \( 5x - 11y - 8z = 1 \), then \( 5x - 11y - 8z \) equals:

Show Hint

Use the cross product to find the direction vector of a line perpendicular to two given lines, and then use the parametric equations to find the intersection point.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- First, find the direction vectors of \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \), and the point of intersection.
- The direction vector of \( L_3 \) will be the cross product of the direction vectors of \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \).
- Use this to calculate the coordinates of the intersection point and the required value. Thus, the value of \( 5x - 11y - 8z = 3 \).
