Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Cross Product Rules:

i^×j^=k^\hat{i} \times \hat{j} = \hat{k}

j^×k^=i^\hat{j} \times \hat{k} = \hat{i}

k^×i^=j^\hat{k} \times \hat{i} = \hat{j}

j^×i^=−k^\hat{j} \times \hat{i} = -\hat{k}

k^×j^=−i^\hat{k} \times \hat{j} = -\hat{i}

i^×k^=−j^\hat{i} \times \hat{k} = -\hat{j}

Dot Product Rules:

i^⋅i^=j^⋅j^=k^⋅k^=1\hat{i} \cdot \hat{i} = \hat{j} \cdot \hat{j} = \hat{k} \cdot \hat{k} = 1

i^⋅j^=j^⋅k^=k^⋅i^=0\hat{i} \cdot \hat{j} = \hat{j} \cdot \hat{k} = \hat{k} \cdot \hat{i} = 0

Any vector crossed with itself equals 0⃗\vec{0}


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

j^×k^=i^\hat{j} \times \hat{k} = \hat{i}

i^⋅i^=1\hat{i} \cdot \hat{i} = 1

(A) matches with (II)


(B) j^⋅(i^×k^)\hat{j} \cdot (\hat{i} \times \hat{k})

i^×k^=−j^\hat{i} \times \hat{k} = -\hat{j}

j^⋅(−j^)=−1\hat{j} \cdot (-\hat{j}) = -1

(B) matches with (III)


(C) i^×(j^×k^)\hat{i} \times (\hat{j} \times \hat{k})

j^×k^=i^\hat{j} \times \hat{k} = \hat{i}

i^×i^=0⃗\hat{i} \times \hat{i} = \vec{0}

(C) matches with (IV)


(D) j^×i^\hat{j} \times \hat{i}

j^×i^=−k^\hat{j} \times \hat{i} = -\hat{k}

(D) matches with (I)


Final Matching:

(A) → (II)

(B) → (III)

(C) → (IV)

(D) → (I)
