For the vectors a⃗=i^−2j^+3k^\vec a=\hat i-2\hat j+3\hat k and b⃗=3i^−2j^+k^\vec b=3\hat i-2\hat j+\hat k, Which of the following are correct?

(A) ∣a⃗∣=14|\vec a|=14

(B) ∣a⃗∣=∣b⃗∣|\vec a|=|\vec b|

(C) a⃗.b⃗=10\vec a . \vec b=10

(D) angle between a⃗\vec a and b⃗\vec b is cos⁡−1(57)\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{5}{7}\right)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

∣a⃗∣=14|\vec a| = \sqrt{14}, not 1414, so (A) is false.

∣b⃗∣=9+4+1=14=∣a⃗∣|\vec b| = \sqrt{9+4+1} = \sqrt{14} = |\vec a|, so (B) is true.

a⃗⋅b⃗=3+4+3=10\vec a\cdot\vec b = 3+4+3 = 10, so (C) is true.

cos⁡θ=1014=57\cos\theta = \dfrac{10}{14} = \dfrac{5}{7}, so (D) is true.
