If the lines $\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{4}$ and $\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+m}{2}=\frac{z-2}{1}$…

If the lines $\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{4}$ and $\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+m}{2}=\frac{z-2}{1}$ intersect each other, then value of $m$ is
  1. 1
  2. -2
  3. 2
  4. -1

Solution

Two intersection lines are $\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y+1}{3}=\frac{z-1}{4}=\lambda \text { and } \frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+m}{2}=\frac{z-2}{1}=\mu$ From (1) and (2) $\lambda=0$ and $\mu=-1$ Then from (3), we get $m=-1$
