Q.

Which of the following must be the true value of the statements below in that order.

Statement I:  For square matrices A and B of same order (with real entries) (O is null matrix and I is Identity matrix of same order as A and B). If AB = O then (detA)2+(detB)2=0

Statement II:  If li,mi,ni (i=1,2,3) denote the direction cosines of 3 mutual perpendicular vectors then A=(l1m1n1l2m2n2l3m3n3)  is an orthogonal matrix.

Statement III:  For two distinct lines with shortest distance d≠0 we can have a point A on line one and point B on line two such that AB = d then A and B be unique points on them in all possible cases.
