Solution

Given lines are r=a1+λb1 and r=2a2+λb2 are coplanar using defination, if two lines r=u1+λv1 r=u2+μv2 are coplanar,then distance between them i.e. u2-u1·v1×v2v1×v2=0i.e 2a2-a1·b1×b2b1×b2=0i.e. 2a2-a1·b1×b2=0i.e. 2a2·b1×b2=a1·b1×b2 By defination of scalar triple producti.e. 2a2 b1 b2=a1 b1 b2i.e. a1 b1 b2a2 b1 b2=2
