Two lines \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}_{1}+\lambda \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}_{1} \text { and } \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}_{2}+\mu \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}_{2}\) would be coplanar if:
  1. \(\left[\vec{a}_{1} \vec{b}_{1} \vec{b}_{2}\right]=\left[\vec{a}_{2} \vec{b}_{1} \vec{b}_{2}\right]\)
  2. \(\left(\vec{a}_{1} \cdot \vec{b}_{1}\right) \vec{b}_{2}=\left(\vec{a}_{2} \cdot \vec{b}_{1}\right) \vec{b}_{2}\)
  3. \(\vec{a}_{1}\left(\vec{b}_{1} \cdot \vec{b}_{2}\right)=\vec{a}_{2}\left(\vec{b}_{1} \cdot \vec{b}_{2}\right)\)
  4. \(\vec{a}_{1} \cdot \vec{b}_{1}-\vec{a}_{1} \cdot \vec{b}_{2}=\vec{a}_{2} \cdot \vec{b}_{1}-\vec{a}_{2} \cdot \vec{b}_{2}\)

Answer

(A) [ a _ 1 b _ 1 b _ 2 ]= [ a _ 2 b _ 1 b _ 2 ]
