If the lines `(x-2)/(1)=(y-3)/(1)=(z-4)/(lamda)` and `(x-1)/(lamda)=(y-4)/(2)=(z-5)/(1)` intersect thenA. `lamda=-1`B. `lamda=2`C. `lamda=-3`D. `lamda=0`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
The two lines will intersect only if the shortest distance between them is zero.
`implies(veca_(2)-veca_(1)).(vecb_(1)xxvecb_(2))=0`
`|{:(1,-1,-1),(1,2,lamda),(lamda,2,1):}|=0`
`implies(1-2lamda)+(1-lamda^(2))-1(2-lamda)=0`
`implies-lamda^(2)-lamda=0`
`implieslamda=0` or `lamda=-1`
