List of top Mathematics Questions on Skew Lines asked in CBSE Class XII

Represent the equations of lines $l_1$ and $l_2$ in vector form and check whether they are intersecting or not.
$l_1 : \frac{x+3}{-3} = \frac{y-1}{1} = \frac{z-5}{5}$
$l_2 : \frac{x+1}{-1} = \frac{2-y}{-2} = \frac{z-5}{5}$}

Find the vector equation of a line passing through the origin and perpendicular to both the lines \(\vec{r} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k} + \lambda(3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k})\) and \(\vec{r} = \mu(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})\).

A line passing through the points \( A(1, 2, 3) \) and \( B(5, 8, 11) \) intersects the line \( \vec{r} = 4\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \lambda(5\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \). Find the co-ordinates of the point of intersection. Hence, write the equation of a line passing through the point of intersection and perpendicular to both the lines.
