Detailed Solution

let  OA¯=6a¯4b¯+4c¯,OB¯=4cOC¯=a¯2b¯3c¯,OD=a¯+2b¯5c¯

The vector equation of the line joining whose position vectors are  OA¯ and OB¯ is r¯=(1t)OA¯+tOB¯ where tR

r¯=(1t)(6a¯4b¯+4c¯)+t(4c¯)  .(1)

The vector equation of the line joining the points whose position vectors are OC¯ and OD¯ is

r¯=(1s)OC¯+s OD¯  where  sRr¯=(1s)(a¯2b¯3c¯)+s(a¯+2b¯5c¯)....(2)

From (1) & (2)

(1t)(6a¯4b¯+4c¯)+t(4c¯)=

(1s)(a¯2b¯3c¯)+s(a¯+2b¯5c¯)

Equating the coefficients of a¯ and b¯

66t=1+s+s

6t+2s7=0..(3)

and 4+4t=2+2s+2s

4t4s2=0

2t2s1∣=0(4)

(3)+(4)8t=8,t=1

Point of intersection of (1) & (2) is

(11)(6a¯4b¯+4c¯)+1(4c¯)=4c¯
