The correct answer is: aa+c+c=0
Direction Ratios of the first line
i^j^k^1-a00c-1=a i^+j^+ck^ 
Hence, Direction Ratios of the first line are a, 1, c.
For Direction Ratios of the second line
i^j^k^10-a01-c=ai^+cj^+k^
Hence, Direction Ratios of the 2nd line =a, c, 1
Since, both the lines are perpendicular,
a.a+c+c=0
