Question:medium

If the shortest distance between the two skew lines \(\overline{r}=\overline{i}+\overline{j}+\overline{k}+t(3\overline{i}+2\overline{j}+\overline{k})\) and \(\overline{r}=\overline{i}-\overline{j}+x\overline{k}+s(\overline{i}+2\overline{j}+3\overline{k})\) is at most \(2\sqrt{6}\), then all values of \(x\) lie in the interval:

Show Hint

Always compute cross product first in skew line problems to simplify distance formula.
