Consider the lines,

$${L_1}:{{x + 1} \over 3} = {{y + 2} \over 1} = {{z + 1} \over 2}$$

$${L_2}:{{x - 2} \over 1} = {{y - 2} \over 2} = {{z - 3} \over 3}$$

The shortest distance between $${L_1}$$ and $${L_2}$$ is :

$$0$$

Let two non-collinear unit vectors $$\widehat a$$ and $$\widehat b$$ form an acute angle. A point $$P$$ moves so that at any time $$t$$ the position vector $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$ (where $$O$$ is the origin) is given by $$\widehat a\cos t + \widehat b\sin t.$$ When $$P$$ is farthest from origin $$O,$$ let $$M$$ be the length of $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$ and $$\widehat u$$ be the unit vector along $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$. Then :

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a + \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a + \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + \widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a - \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a - \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + \widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a + \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a + \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + 2\widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a - \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a - \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + 2\widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

Let $$\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$$ be unit vectors such that $$\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\overrightarrow{0}$$. Which one of the following is correct?

$$\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\vec{b} \times \vec{c}=\vec{c} \times \vec{a}=\overrightarrow{0}$$

$$\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\vec{b} \times \vec{c}=\vec{c} \times \vec{a} \neq \overrightarrow{0}$$

$$\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\vec{b} \times \vec{c}=\vec{a} \times \vec{c} \neq \overrightarrow{0}$$

$$\vec{a} \times \vec{b}, \vec{b} \times \vec{c}, \vec{c} \times \vec{a}$$ are mutually perpendicular
