If two lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ in space are defined by $L_1 = \{ x = \sqrt{\lambda} y + (\sqrt{\lambda} - 1), z = (\sqrt{\lambda} - 1)y + \sqrt{\lambda} \}$ and $L_2 = \{ x = \sqrt{\mu} y + (1 - \sqrt{\mu}), z = (1 - \sqrt{\mu})y + \sqrt{\mu} \}$,then $L_1$ is perpendicular to $L_2$ for all non-negative reals $\lambda$ and $\mu$ such that:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\lambda} + \sqrt{\mu} = 1$
  • B
    $\lambda \neq \mu$
  • C
    $\lambda + \mu = 0$
  • D
    $\lambda = \mu$
