Question:

If the shortest between the lines $\frac{x+\sqrt{6}}{2}=\frac{y-\sqrt{6}}{3}=\frac{z-\sqrt{6}}{4}$ and $\frac{x-\lambda}{3}=\frac{y-2 \sqrt{6}}{4}=\frac{z+2 \sqrt{6}}{5}$ is $6$ , then the square of sum of all possible values of $\lambda$ is

Complex Number

A Complex Number is written in the form

a + ib

where,

  • “a” is a real number
  • “b” is an imaginary number

The Complex Number consists of a symbol “i” which satisfies the condition i^2 = −1. Complex Numbers are mentioned as the extension of one-dimensional number lines. In a complex plane, a Complex Number indicated as a + bi is usually represented in the form of the point (a, b). We have to pay attention that a Complex Number with absolutely no real part, such as – i, -5i, etc, is called purely imaginary. Also, a Complex Number with perfectly no imaginary part is known as a real number.
