Let a line having direction ratios1,-4,2intersect the linesx-73=y-1-1=z+21andx2=y-73=z1at the pointsAandB. ThenAB2is equal to

Answer:
84.00
Solution:

Let A be 3λ+7,-λ+1,λ-2 and B be 2μ,3μ+7,μ

DR's of AB is

3λ-2μ+7,-λ-3μ-6,λ-μ-2

Now, 

3λ-2μ+71=-λ-3μ-6-4=λ-μ-22

i.e. -12λ+8μ-28=-λ-3μ-6

λ=μ-2

Also 

-2λ-6μ-12=-4λ+4μ+8

λ=5μ+10

After solving above two equations, we get λ=-5,μ=-3

i.e. A=-8,6,-7 and B=-6,-2,-3

Hence, AB2=4+64+16=84
