Let a line $L$ pass through the origin and be perpendicular to the lines $L_1: \vec{r} = \hat{i} - 11\hat{j}…
Solution
Given,
A line pass through the origin and be perpendicular to the lines and
So, direction ratio of line will be,
$ \begin{aligned} \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the equation of line which passes through origin will be,
Now finding the intersection point we get,
So, from equation we get,
Hence, point
Now finding the point which is foot of perpendicular from point on line we get,
Now any point on line will be
Now direction ratio of will be
Now using the perpendicular condition we get,

Hence,
