Solution

(a) 4, 5, 7 

We have ,

\[\frac{x - 7}{2} = \frac{y + 17}{- 3} = \frac{z - 6}{1} \]

\[\frac{x + 5}{1} = \frac{y + 3}{2} = \frac{z - 4}{- 2}\]

The direction ratios of the given lines are proportional to 2,-3,1 and 1,2,-2.

The vectors parallel to the given vectors are \[\overrightarrow{b_1} = 2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + \hat{k}  \text{ and  } \overrightarrow{b_2} = \hat{i}  + 2 \hat{j}  - 2 \hat{k} \]

Vector perpendicular to the given two lines is ,

\[\overrightarrow{b} = \overrightarrow{b_1} \times \overrightarrow{b}_2 \]

\[ = \begin{vmatrix}\hat{i} & \hat{j}  & \hat{k}  \\ 2 & - 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & - 2\end{vmatrix}\]

\[ = 4 \hat{i}  + 5 \hat{j}  + 7 \hat{k} \] 

Hence, the direction ratios of the line perpendicular to the given two lines are proportional to 4, 5, 7.
