The lines $\overrightarrow r = \left( {\widehat i - \widehat j} \right) + l\left( {2\widehat i + \widehat k} \right)$ and $\overrightarrow r = \left( {2\widehat i - \widehat j} \right) + m\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k} \right)$

Question

The lines
$\overrightarrow r = \left( {\widehat i - \widehat j} \right) + l\left( {2\widehat i + \widehat k} \right)$ and
$\overrightarrow r = \left( {2\widehat i - \widehat j} \right) + m\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k} \right)$

do not intersect for any values of $l$ and m

intersect for all values of $l$ and m

intersect when $l$ = 2 and m = ${1 \over 2}$

intersect when $l$ = 1 and m = 2
