Mathematics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 8 April, Shift 2

Let the values of λ\lambda for which the shortest distance between the lines x12=y23=z34\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{z-3}{4} and xλ3=y44=z55\frac{x-\lambda}{3} = \frac{y-4}{4} = \frac{z-5}{5} is 16\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} be λ1\lambda_1 and λ2\lambda_2. Then the radius of the circle passing through the points (0,0)(0, 0), (λ1,λ2)(\lambda_1, \lambda_2) and (λ2,λ1)(\lambda_2, \lambda_1) is

  • A

    44

  • B

  • C

    23\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}

  • D

    523\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3}
