The correct option is C

π3


Explanation for correct answer Option(s)

Find the angle between the lines.

The given points are,

1,1,2, and 3-1,-3-1,4

We know that the angles between the two lines is given by:

cosθ=x1x2+y1y2+z1z2x12+y12+z12x22+y22+z22

Substitute, x1=1,y1=1,z1=2,x2=3-1,y2-3-1,z2=4 in the above Equation

cosθ=13-1+1-3-1+2412+12+223-12+-3-12+42cosθ=3-1-3-1+81+1+43+1-23+3+1+23+16cosθ=8-2624cosθ=6144cosθ=612cosθ=12θ=cos-112θ=π3

Hence, the angle between the lines is π3

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.
