Consider the lines L1L_{1} and L2L_{2} given by

L1:x−12=y−31=z−22L2:x−21=y−22=z−33\begin{array}{l} L_{1}: \frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y-3}{1}=\frac{z-2}{2} \\ L_{2}: \frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3} \end{array}

A line L3L_{3} having direction ratios, 1,−1,−21,-1,-2, intersects L1L_{1} and L2L_{2} at the points PP and QQ respectively. Then the length of line segment PQP Q is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
262 \sqrt{6}
Option B (262 \sqrt{{6}}) is correct because it calculates the distance between the points P and Q where the line L3 intersects L1 and L2, using the given direction ratios.
