The correct order of steps from A to E, for finding value of p, so that the lines 1−x3=7y−142p=z−32\frac{1-x}{3} = \frac{7y-14}{2p} = \frac{z-3}{2} and 7−7x3p=y−51=6−z5\frac{7-7x}{3p} = \frac{y-5}{1} = \frac{6-z}{5} are at right angle is:

A. p=7011p = \frac{70}{11}

B. (−3)×(−3p7)+1×(2p7)+2×(−5)=0(-3) \times \left(\frac{-3p}{7}\right) + 1 \times \left(\frac{2p}{7}\right) + 2 \times (-5) = 0

C. x−1−3=y−22p7=z−32\frac{x-1}{-3} = \frac{y-2}{2\frac{p}{7}} = \frac{z-3}{2}, x−1−3p7=y−51=z−6−5\frac{x-1}{-\frac{3p}{7}} = \frac{y-5}{1} = \frac{z-6}{-5}

D. 9p7+2p7−10=0\frac{9p}{7} + \frac{2p}{7} - 10 = 0

E. 11p7=10\frac{11p}{7} = 10

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

First rewrite both lines in standard form (C). Then apply perpendicularity condition (dot product = 0) on direction ratios (B). Simplify to get equation in p (D). Further simplify (E). Finally solve to get p=70/11p = 70/11 (A).
