The correct answer is:
$\frac{-2}{3}$
Given lines are $\perp$ er and their d.r.s. are $(1,2, \mathrm{~m})$ and $(2,1,6)$
$\therefore \quad 1(2)+2(1)+m(6)=0$
$\therefore \quad 6 m=-4 \quad \Rightarrow m=\frac{-2}{3}$
$\therefore \quad 1(2)+2(1)+m(6)=0$
$\therefore \quad 6 m=-4 \quad \Rightarrow m=\frac{-2}{3}$
