The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given lines and their intersection conditions. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given lines We have two lines represented as: 1. \(\vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\) 2. \(\vec{r} = \vec{b} + \mu (\vec{c} \times \vec{a})\) Here, \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are scalar parameters. ### Step 2: Condition for intersection For the two lines to intersect, the vectors formed by the points on the lines must be coplanar. This means that the vector from point \(\vec{b}\) to point \(\vec{a}\) and the direction vectors of the lines must be coplanar. ### Step 3: Define the vectors Let: - \(\vec{d_1} = \vec{b} - \vec{a}\) (the vector from \(\vec{a}\) to \(\vec{b}\)) - \(\vec{d_2} = \vec{b} \times \vec{c}\) (the direction vector of the first line) - \(\vec{d_3} = \vec{c} \times \vec{a}\) (the direction vector of the second line) ### Step 4: Apply the coplanarity condition The vectors \(\vec{d_1}\), \(\vec{d_2}\), and \(\vec{d_3}\) must be coplanar. This can be expressed using the scalar triple product: \[ (\vec{a} - \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) + (\vec{b} - \vec{a}) \cdot (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Expand the scalar triple product Using the properties of the scalar triple product, we can rewrite the condition: \[ (\vec{a} - \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = 0 \] This implies that: \[ \vec{a} - \vec{b} \text{ is perpendicular to } \vec{b} \times \vec{c} \] ### Step 6: Analyze the options Now we analyze the options given in the problem: 1. \(\vec{a} \times \vec{c} = \vec{b} \times \vec{c}\) 2. \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}\) 3. \(\vec{b} \times \vec{a} = \vec{c} \times \vec{a}\) 4. None of these From our analysis, we found that the condition simplifies to: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} \] Thus, the correct answer is option 2. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Option B: \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}\)**
