Direction ratios of the line which is perpendicular to the lines with direction ratios - 1, 2, 2 and 0, 2, 1 are

  • 1, 1, 2

  • 2, - 1, 2

  • - 2, 1, 2

  • 2, 1, - 2

2, - 1, 2

Let direction ratios of a line be (a, b, c).

Since, line is perpendicular to the direction ratios (- 1, 2, 2) and ( 0, 2, 1)

 a × - 1 + b × 2 + c × 2 = 0 and     a × 0 + b × 2 + c × 1 = 0 - a + 2b + 2c = 0 and 0a + 2b + c = 0 a2 - 4 = - b- 1 - 0 = c- 2 - 0    a- 2 = b1 = c- 2or         a2 = b- 1 = c2

Hence, direction ratio of a line is (2, - 1, 2).
