Direction ratios of the line perpendicular to the lines x−32=y+7−3=z−21\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y+7}{-3}=\frac{z-2}{1} and x+21=y+32=z−5−2\frac{x+2}{1}=\frac{y+3}{2}=\frac{z-5}{-2} are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The required direction is the cross product of (2,−3,1)(2,-3,1) and (1,2,−2)(1,2,-2).

=((−3)(−2)−(1)(2),  (1)(1)−(2)(−2),  (2)(2)−(−3)(1))=(4,5,7)=\big((-3)(-2)-(1)(2),\;(1)(1)-(2)(-2),\;(2)(2)-(-3)(1)\big)=(4,5,7).
