    Let \[A(\vec{a})\] and \[B(\vec{b})\] be points on two skew line \[\vec{r}=\vec{a}+\vec{\lambda }\] and \[\vec{r}=\vec{b}+u\vec{q}\]  and the shortest distance between the skew line is 1, where \[\vec{p}\] and \[\vec{q}\] are unit vectors forming adjacent sides of a parallelogram enclosing an area of \[\frac{1}{2}\]units. If an angle between AB and the line of shortest distance is \[60{}^\circ \], then \[AB=\]

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    B) \[2\]

    C) \[1\]

    D) \[\lambda \in R-\{0\}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[1=\left| (\vec{b}-\vec{a}).\frac{(\vec{p}\times \vec{q})}{\left| \vec{p}\times \vec{q} \right|} \right|\Rightarrow \left| \vec{a}-\vec{b} \right|\cos 60{}^\circ =1\] \[AB=2\]
