Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Skew Lines Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The shortest distance between two skew lines
d =
Explanation:
Given,
and
The foot of the perpendicular from the point (4,3,8) on the line L1 is (3,5,7).
So, point (3,5,7) satisfies the equation of the line L1.
Substitute x=3, y=5, and z=7 in equation (1), we have
⇒
⇒
⇒
Now,
⇒ 3-a= l
⇒ a+l=3 ---(3)
And
⇒ 7-b =4
⇒ b=3
Direction cosines of the line joining points (4,3,8) and (3,5,7) are (3-4,5-3,7-8) i.e.(-1,2, -1).
The direction cosines of the line L1 are (l,3,4).
Both lines are perpendicular.
∴ l× (-1)+2× 3+(-1)× 4 =0
⇒ -l +6-4=0
⇒-l+2=0
⇒ l=2
Substitute the value of l in equation (3), we have
⇒ a+2=3
⇒ a =1
Substitute the values of a,b and l in equation (1),
and
Direction cosines of the line L1 and L2 are (2,3,4) and (3,4,5) respectively.
Now, the shortest distance between line L1 and L2 is
d =
=
=
=
=
The shortest distance between lines L1 and L2 is
Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

Given:
⇒
Also,
Now, (
= 7î + 38ĵ - 5k̂
∴ Shortest distance
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
Skew Lines Question 3:
Find the shortest distance between the lines
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Skew Lines Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The shortest distance between the skew line
Calculation:
Given: Equation of lines is
By comparing the given equations with
⇒ x1 = -1, y1 = 1, z1 = 9, a1 = 2, b1 = 1 and c1 = - 3
Similarly, x2 = 3, y2 = -15, z2 = 9, a2 = 2, b2 = -7 and c2 = 5
So,
And
As we know that shortest distance between two skew lines is given by:
⇒
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Calculation:
Here we have to find the shortest distance between the lines
Let line L1 be represented by the equation
⇒ x1 = 5, y1 = -2, z1 = 0 and a1 = 7, b1 = -5, c1 = 1.
⇒ x2 = 0, y2 = 0, z2 = 0 and a2 = 1, b2 = 2, c2 = 3.
∵ The shortest distance between the lines is given by:
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Hence, option 3 is correct.
Skew Lines Question 6:
Find the shortest distance between the lines
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Skew Lines Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The shortest distance between the skew line
Calculation:
Given: Equation of lines is
By comparing the given equations with
⇒ x1 = 3, y1 = 4, z1 = - 2, a1 = -1, b1 = 2 and c1 = 1
Similarly, x2 = 1, y2 = - 7, z2 = -2, a2 = 1, b2 = 3 and c2 = 2
So,
As we know that shortest distance between two skew lines is given by:
⇒
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Skew Lines Question 7:
Let λ be an integer. If the shortest distance between the lines x – λ = 2y – 1 = -2z and x = y + 2λ = z – λ is √7/2√2, then the value of |λ| is _________
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 1
Skew Lines Question 7 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Distance between skew lines
d =
Calculation:
Given, (x – λ)/1 = (y – 1/2)/(1/2) = z/(-1/2)
(x – λ)/2 = (y-1/2)/1 = z/(-1) …(1) Point on line = (λ, 1/2, 0)
x/1 = (y + 2λ)/1 = (z – λ)/1 …(2) Point on line = (0, -2λ, λ)
∴ Distance between skew lines =
=
= |-5λ – 3/2|/
= √7/(2√2) (Given)
⇒ |10λ + 3| = 7
⇒ 10λ + 3 = ± 7
⇒ λ = - 1 [∵ λ is an integer]
⇒ |λ| = 1
∴ The value of |λ| is 1.
