Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

(A) Evaluate i^⋅(j^×k^)+j^⋅(i^×k^)+k^⋅(i^×j^)\hat{i}\cdot(\hat{j}\times\hat{k}) + \hat{j}\cdot(\hat{i}\times\hat{k}) + \hat{k}\cdot(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})

  • j^×k^=i^ ⇒ i^⋅i^=1\hat{j}\times\hat{k}=\hat{i}\ \Rightarrow\ \hat{i}\cdot\hat{i}=1
  • i^×k^=−j^ ⇒ j^⋅(−j^)=−1\hat{i}\times\hat{k}=-\hat{j}\ \Rightarrow\ \hat{j}\cdot(-\hat{j})=-1
  • i^×j^=k^ ⇒ k^⋅k^=1\hat{i}\times\hat{j}=\hat{k}\ \Rightarrow\ \hat{k}\cdot\hat{k}=1

Sum =1−1+1=1= 1 - 1 + 1 = 1. So (A) -> (IV).


(B) Use the identity ∣a⃗∣2∣b⃗∣2=(a⃗⋅b⃗)2+∣a⃗×b⃗∣2\lvert\vec{a}\rvert^{2}\lvert\vec{b}\rvert^{2} = (\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b})^{2} + \lvert\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\rvert^{2}

(10)2(2)2=(12)2+∣a⃗×b⃗∣2(10)^{2}(2)^{2} = (12)^{2} + \lvert\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\rvert^{2}

400=144+∣a⃗×b⃗∣2400 = 144 + \lvert\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\rvert^{2}

∣a⃗×b⃗∣2=256 ⇒ ∣a⃗×b⃗∣=16\lvert\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\rvert^{2} = 256\ \Rightarrow\ \lvert\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\rvert = 16

So (B) -> (I).


(C) a⃗⋅b⃗=∣a⃗×b⃗∣\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b} = \lvert\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\rvert

∣a⃗∣∣b⃗∣cos⁡θ=∣a⃗∣∣b⃗∣sin⁡θ ⇒ tan⁡θ=1 ⇒ θ=π4\lvert\vec{a}\rvert\lvert\vec{b}\rvert\cos\theta = \lvert\vec{a}\rvert\lvert\vec{b}\rvert\sin\theta\ \Rightarrow\ \tan\theta = 1\ \Rightarrow\ \theta = \dfrac{\pi}{4}

So (C) -> (II).


(D) Perpendicular means a⃗⋅b⃗=0\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b}=0

(2)(3)+(4)(−5)+(λ)(1)=0(2)(3) + (4)(-5) + (\lambda)(1) = 0

6−20+λ=0 ⇒ λ=146 - 20 + \lambda = 0\ \Rightarrow\ \lambda = 14

So (D) -> (III).
