The correct Answer is:
To solve the given expression \((l_{1}m_{2}-l_{2}m_{1})^2+(m_{1}n_{2}-n_{1}m_{2})^2+(n_{1}l_{2}-n_{2}l_{1})^2+(l_{1}l_{2}+m_{1}m_{2}+n_{1}n_{2})^2\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We are given two lines with direction cosines \((l_{1}, m_{1}, n_{1})\) and \((l_{2}, m_{2}, n_{2})\). The direction cosines satisfy the condition: \[ l_{1}^2 + m_{1}^2 + n_{1}^2 = 1 \] \[ l_{2}^2 + m_{2}^2 + n_{2}^2 = 1 \] ### Step 2: Expand Each Term We will expand each of the squared terms in the expression. 1. **First Term**: \[ (l_{1}m_{2} - l_{2}m_{1})^2 = l_{1}^2m_{2}^2 + l_{2}^2m_{1}^2 - 2l_{1}m_{2}l_{2}m_{1} \] 2. **Second Term**: \[ (m_{1}n_{2} - n_{1}m_{2})^2 = m_{1}^2n_{2}^2 + n_{1}^2m_{2}^2 - 2m_{1}n_{2}n_{1}m_{2} \] 3. **Third Term**: \[ (n_{1}l_{2} - n_{2}l_{1})^2 = n_{1}^2l_{2}^2 + n_{2}^2l_{1}^2 - 2n_{1}l_{2}n_{2}l_{1} \] 4. **Fourth Term**: \[ (l_{1}l_{2} + m_{1}m_{2} + n_{1}n_{2})^2 = (l_{1}l_{2})^2 + (m_{1}m_{2})^2 + (n_{1}n_{2})^2 + 2(l_{1}l_{2}m_{1}m_{2} + m_{1}m_{2}n_{1}n_{2} + n_{1}n_{2}l_{1}l_{2}) \] ### Step 3: Combine All Terms Now, we will combine all the expanded terms: \[ = (l_{1}^2m_{2}^2 + l_{2}^2m_{1}^2 - 2l_{1}m_{2}l_{2}m_{1}) + (m_{1}^2n_{2}^2 + n_{1}^2m_{2}^2 - 2m_{1}n_{2}n_{1}m_{2}) + (n_{1}^2l_{2}^2 + n_{2}^2l_{1}^2 - 2n_{1}l_{2}n_{2}l_{1}) + (l_{1}l_{2})^2 + (m_{1}m_{2})^2 + (n_{1}n_{2})^2 + 2(l_{1}l_{2}m_{1}m_{2} + m_{1}m_{2}n_{1}n_{2} + n_{1}n_{2}l_{1}l_{2}) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Now, we will simplify the expression. Notice that: - The terms involving products of direction cosines will cancel out due to symmetry and the properties of direction cosines. After simplification, we find that: \[ = 1 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
