If $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c $$ and $$\overrightarrow d $$ are distinct vectors such that
$$\,\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow d $$ and $$\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b = \overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d \,.$$ Prove that
$$\left( {\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow d } \right).\left( {\overrightarrow b - \overrightarrow c } \right) \ne 0\,\,i.e.\,\,\,\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow d .\overrightarrow c \ne \overrightarrow d .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c $$

If $$\overrightarrow u ,\overrightarrow v ,\overrightarrow w ,$$ are three non-coplanar unit vectors and $$\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma $$ are the angles between $$\overrightarrow u $$ and $$\overrightarrow v $$ and $$\overrightarrow w ,$$ $$\overrightarrow w $$ and $$\overrightarrow u $$ respectively and $$\overrightarrow x ,\overrightarrow y ,\overrightarrow z ,$$ are unit vectors along the bisectors of the angles $$\alpha ,\,\,\beta ,\,\,\gamma $$ respectively. Prove that $$\,\left[ {\overrightarrow x \times \overrightarrow y \,\,\overrightarrow y \times \overrightarrow z \,\,\overrightarrow z \times \overrightarrow x } \right] = {1 \over {16}}{\left[ {\overrightarrow u \,\,\overrightarrow v \,\,\overrightarrow w } \right]^2}\,{\sec ^2}{\alpha \over 2}{\sec ^2}{\beta \over 2}{\sec ^2}{\gamma \over 2}.$$

Let $$\overrightarrow A \left( t \right) = {f_1}\left( t \right)\widehat i + {f_2}\left( t \right)\widehat j$$ and $$$\overrightarrow B \left( t \right) = {g_1}\left( t \right)\overrightarrow i + {g_2}\left( t \right)\widehat j,t \in \left[ {0,1} \right],$$$
where $${f_1},{f_2},{g_1},{g_2}$$ are continuous functions. If $$\overrightarrow A \left( t \right)$$ and $$\overrightarrow B \left( t \right)$$ are nonzero vectors for all $$t$$ and $$\overrightarrow A \left( 0 \right) = 2\widehat i + 3\widehat j,$$ $$\,\overrightarrow A \left( 1 \right) = 6\widehat i + 2\widehat j,$$ $$\,\overrightarrow B \left( 0 \right) = 3\widehat i + 2\widehat j$$ and $$\,\overrightarrow B \left( 1 \right) = 2\widehat i + 6\widehat j.$$ Then show that $$\,\overrightarrow A \left( t \right)$$ and $$\,\overrightarrow B \left( t \right)$$ are parallel for some $$t.$$
