Solution
Equation of lines are.,
`bar r = (4 bar"i"-bar "j") + lambda(bar"i" +2bar"j" -3bar"k")` &
`bar r = (hat i - hat j + 2 hat k) + mu(hat i + 4 hat j -5 hat k)`
∴ above lines passes through
`bar"a"_1 = (4 bar"i" - bar"j") "and" bar"a"_2 = (bar "i" - bar"j" + 2bar"k")`
and parallel to
`bar"b"_1 = bar"i" + 2bar"j" - 3bar"k" & bar"b"_2 = bar"i" - 4bar"j" - 5bar"k"`
Shortest distance =`|((bar"a"_2 - bar"a"_1).(bar"b"_1 xx bar"b"_2))/|(bar"b"_1 xx bar"b"_2)||`
`=> bar"a"_2 - bar"a"_1 = -3bar"j" + 2bar"k"`
`bar"b"_1 xx bar"b"_2 = |(bar"i",bar"j" , bar"k"),(1,2,-3),(1,4,-5)| = 2bar"i" +2bar"j" + 2bar"k"`
`therefore |bar"b"_1 xx bar"b"_2| = 2sqrt3`
Shortest distance = `|((-3bar"i"+2bar"k").(2bar"i" + 2bar"j" + 2bar"k"))/(2sqrt3)|`
`= |(-6+4)/(2sqrt3)|`
`= |-2/(2sqrt3)|`
`"d" = 1/sqrt3 "units"`
