Truncate a set of lists until a subset of entries matches?












3














Consider lists of vectors of elements like



list[1]={{a1,b1,c11},{a2,b2,c12},{a3,b3,c13},{a4,b4,c14},{a5,b5,c15}};
list[2]={{a1,b1,c21} ,{a3,b3,c23},{a4,b4,c24},{a5,b5,c25}};
list[3]={{a1,b1,c31},{a2,b2,c32},{a3,b3,c33} ,{a5,b5,c35}};


where the length 3 of vectors in lists is just an example and could be longer, and there may be more than 3 such lists.



I would like to have a function truncate[listoflists_] that takes all these lists and truncates them to only have the vectors containing ai,bi entries that are present in all of them:



{list[1],list[2],list[3]}=truncate[{list[1],list[2],list[3]}];
list[1]
list[2]
list[3]



{{a1,b1,c11},{a3,b3,c13},{a5,b5,c15}}



{{a1,b1,c21},{a3,b3,c23},{a5,b5,c25}}



{{a1,b1,c31},{a3,b3,c33},{a5,b5,c35}}




Is there a quick way to do this in Mathematica? Thanks for any suggestion.
