Detailed Solution

Let i^, j^, k^ be the unit vectors along OA, OB, OC

CN, BM are diagonals skew to OA

Let 1 be the S.D. between OA and CN and let

OA=xi^;OC=zk^; OB=yj^ON=xi^+yj^

Equation of OA and CN are r=xi^ and r^=zk^+p(xi^+yj^zk^) respectively.

 The shortest distance between those two lines.

l=yzy2+z21l2=1y2+1z2

Similarly 1m2=1z2+1x2, 1n2=1x2+1y2,

1l2+1m2+1n2=21OA2+1OB2+1OC2
