The lines 

x1=y2=z3andx33=y46=z59are:\frac{x}{1} = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{3} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{x - 3}{-3} = \frac{y - 4}{-6} = \frac{z - 5}{-9} \quad \text{are:}​​

A.

coincident

B.

skew

C.

intersecting

D.

parallel

Correct option is D

1. Line 1:x1=y2=z3Direction vector (d1):d1=(1,2,3)Point on the line (P1):(0,0,0)2. Line 2:x33=y46=z59Direction vector (d2):d2=(3,6,9)Point on the line (P2):(3,4,5)Check if the Direction Vectors are Scalar Multiplesd2=3d1(3,6,9)=3(1,2,3)Since d2 is a scalar multiple of d1, the lines are parallel.\begin{aligned}&\textbf{1.
