Let a → = i ^ and b → = j ^ is the point of intersection of the lines r → × a →…

Let a=i^ and b=j^ is the point of intersection of the lines r×a=b×a and r×b=a×b is

  1. r=i^+j^
  2. r=i^-j^
  3. r=k^
  4. r=2i^+j^

Solution

Given, r×a=b×a

r-b×a=0

The Equation of line is, r=b+pa

Similarly, for second line r×b=a×b

The Equation of line is r=b+qa

As they both intersect b+qa=b+pa

On comparing the coefficients we get p=q=1

Hence, the equation of line is r=b+a

r=i^+j^
