Question : 16 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
If a×b = c×d and a×c = b×d , show that ad is parallel to bc , where ad and bc
Solution:  
Given : a×b = c×d and a×c = b×d
To show ad is parallel to bc
i.e (ad) × (bc) = 0
Consider (ad) × (bc) = a×(bc)d×(bc)
= a×b - a×c - d×b + d×c
c×d - b×d - d×b + d×c
[Since a×b = c×d and a×c = b×d]
c×d - b×d + b×d - c×d
[Since d×c = c×d and d×b = - b×d]
= 0
Therefore ad is parallel to bc
