Detailed Solution

Let  OA=a,OB=b,OC=c are coter minus edges
v=16[a   b   c]
[a   b   c]=72(1)
Let  |a|=3,
|BC|=4
Equation of  OA is   r=(1t)O+ta=O+ta(2)
Equation of  BC is  r=(1s)b+sc=b+s(cb)(3)
Shortest distance between (2) and (3) is =  [b   cb   a]|a×(cb)|=λ
λ=b×(cb).a|a||BC|sinπ6=[a   b   c](3)(4)(12)=726=12
λ3=4=2
