Q45 / 80 · NEST (NISER) 2025 · Mathematics

Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be two lines in the 3-dimensional space. The line $L_1$ is defined by the equations $\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{\alpha}$ and the line $L_2$ is defined by the equations $\frac{x+2}{-2}=\frac{y-3}{4 \alpha}=\frac{z+7}{3}$ where $\alpha$ is a nonzero real number. If the lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ are mutually perpendicular, then the value of $\alpha$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\frac{6}{11}$
  • B
