To solve the problem, we need to find the position vectors of points \( P \) and \( Q \) such that the vector \( \vec{PQ} \) is perpendicular to both \( \vec{AB} \) and \( \vec{CD} \). Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Vectors Given: - \( \vec{AB} = 3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{CD} = -3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \) Position vectors of points \( A \) and \( C \): ...
