  • A
    $\vec{r} = (4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i} + \hat{k})$
  • B
    $\vec{r} = (4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i})$
  • C
    $\vec{r} = (4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{j})$
  • D
    $\vec{r} = (4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i} - \hat{k})$

Let $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from the point $A(1, 2, 2)$ on the line $L: \frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y+1}{-1} = \frac{z-2}{2}$. Let the line $\overrightarrow{r} = (-\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) + \lambda(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})$,$\lambda \in R$,intersect the line $L$ at $Q$. Then $2(PQ)^2$ is equal to:

The angle between the lines $\vec{r}=(2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k})+\lambda(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})$ and $\vec{r}=(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})+\mu(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k})$ is

One vertex of a rectangular parallelepiped is at the origin $O$ and the lengths of its edges along $x, y$ and $z$ axes are $3, 4$ and $5$ units respectively. Let $P$ be the vertex $(3, 4, 5)$. Then the shortest distance between the diagonal $OP$ and an edge parallel to the $z$-axis,not passing through $O$ or $P$,is:

The shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x-3}{4}=\frac{y+7}{-11}=\frac{z-1}{5}$ and $\frac{x-5}{3}=\frac{y-9}{-6}=\frac{z+2}{1}$ is:

If the shortest distance between the lines
$L_1: \overrightarrow{r}=(2+\lambda) \hat{i}+(1-3 \lambda) \hat{j}+(3+4 \lambda) \hat{k}, \lambda \in R$
$L_2: \overrightarrow{r}=2(1+\mu) \hat{i}+3(1+\mu) \hat{j}+(5+\mu) \hat{k}, \mu \in R$
is $\frac{m}{\sqrt{n}}$,where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1$,then the value of $m+n$ equals.
