L1L_1 and L2L_2 are two lines whose vector equations are
L1:r=λ[(cos⁡θ+3)i+(2sin⁡θ)j+(cos⁡θ−3)k]L_1: \mathbf{r}=\lambda[(\cos \theta+\sqrt{3}) \mathbf{i}+(\sqrt{2} \sin \theta) \mathbf{j}+(\cos \theta-\sqrt{3}) \mathbf{k}]
and L2:r=μ(ai+bj+ck)L_2: \mathbf{r}=\mu(a \mathbf{i}+b \mathbf{j}+c \mathbf{k})
where, λ\lambda and μ\mu are scalars and α\alpha is the acute angle between L1L_1 and L2L_2. If the angle α\alpha is independent of θ\theta, then the value of α\alpha is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
π6\frac{\pi}{6}
Option A (π6\frac{\pi}{6}) is correct because when a+c=0 and b=0, the angle α becomes independent of θ and equals π6\frac{\pi}{6}.
