Let

$\overrightarrow{a}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k},\overrightarrow{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and

$\overrightarrow{c}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}$ . A vector in the plane of

$3\hat{i}+\hat{j}-3\hat{k}$
0%
$2\hat{i}+\hat{j}$
0%
$4\hat{i}+\hat{j}-4\hat{k}$

Explanation

A vector in the plane of

$\overrightarrow{a}$ and

$\overrightarrow{b}$ is

$\overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b} =\left(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\right)+\lambda \left(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\right)$

$=\left(1+\lambda\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-\lambda\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+\lambda\right)\hat{k}$
If projection on

$\overrightarrow{c}$ is

$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \left(\overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b}\right).\dfrac{\overrightarrow{c}}{\left|\overrightarrow{c}\right|}=\pm \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \left(\left(1+\lambda\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-\lambda\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+\lambda\right)\hat{k}\right)\dfrac {\left(\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}\right)} {\sqrt{1+1+1}} =\pm \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+\lambda+2-\lambda-1-\lambda} {\sqrt{3}} =\pm \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow 2-\lambda=\pm 1$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=2\pm 1$

$\therefore \lambda=1$ or

$3$
If

$\lambda =1, \overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b}=\left(1+1\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-1\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+1\right)\hat{k}$

$=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$
If

$\lambda=3, \overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b} = \left(1+3\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-3\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+3\right)\hat{k}$

$=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}+4\hat{k}$

$\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$ are position vectors of the non-collinear points A, B, C respectively, the shortest distance of A and BC is?

0%
$\bar{a}\cdot(\bar{b}-\bar{c})$
0%
$\bar{b}\cdot(\bar{c}-\bar{a})$
0%
$|\bar{b}-\bar{a}|$
0%
$\sqrt{|\vec{b}-\vec{a}|^2-[\cfrac{(\vec{a}-\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{b}-\vec{c})}{|\vec{b}-\vec{c}|}}]^2$

Explanation

vector equation

$\vec{r}=\vec{b}+\lambda(\vec{c}-\vec{b})$

Let

$P$ be the foot of perpendicular of the point

$A$ on

$BC$

Thus, the required distance is

$AP$ .

$AP=\sqrt{AB^2-BP^2}$

$AP=|\vec{b}-\vec{a}|^2$

$BP=\cfrac{(\vec{a}-\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{b}-\vec{c})}{|\vec{b}-\vec{c}|}$

$\therefore$ The requiried distance

$AP$

$AP=\sqrt{|\vec{b}-\vec{a}|^2-[\cfrac{(\vec{a}-\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{b}-\vec{c})}{|\vec{b}-\vec{c}|}}]^2$

$A,B,C,D$ be any four points and

$E$ and

$F$ be the mid-points of

$AC$ and

$BD$ , respectively, then

$\vec{AB}+\vec{CB}+\vec{CD}+\vec{AD}$ is equal to

0%
$3\vec{EF}$
0%
$4\vec{EF}$
0%
$4\vec{FE}$
0%
$3\vec{FE}$

Explanation

Solution:- (C)

$4 \vec{EF}$

$ABCD$ is a quadrilateral.

Given that

$F$ is the mid-point of

$BD$ , we get

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} = 2 \vec{AF}..... \left( 1 \right)$

Similarly

$\vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = 2 \vec{CF} ..... \left( 2 \right) \; \left[ \text{E is the mid point of AC} \right]$

Adding

${eq}^{n} \left( 1 \right) \& \left( 2 \right)$ , we have

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} + \vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = 2 \left( \vec{AF} + \vec{CF} \right)$

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} + \vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = 2 \left( \left( -\vec{FA} \right) + \left( - \vec{FC} \right) \right)$

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} + \vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = -2 \left( \vec{FA} + \vec{FC} \right)$

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} + \vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = -2 \left( 2 \vec{FE} \right)$

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} + \vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = -2 \left( -2 \vec{EF} \right)$

$\vec{AB} + \vec{AD} + \vec{CB} + \vec{CD} = 4 \vec{EF}$

Let

$\overrightarrow{a}=2\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+6\hat{k}$ and

$\overrightarrow{b}$ on

$\overrightarrow{a}=$

0%
$3:7$
0%
$7:3$
0%
$-4$
0%
$3$

Explanation

Projection of

$\overrightarrow{a}$ on

$\overrightarrow{b}$

$=$ scalar components of

$\overrightarrow{a}$ along

$\overrightarrow{b}$

$=\dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}}{\left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|}$
Projection of

$\overrightarrow{b}$ on

$\overrightarrow{a}$

$=$ scalar components of

$\overrightarrow{b}$ along

$\overrightarrow{a}$

$= \dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}}{\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|}$
Ratio

$= \dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}}{\left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|}:\dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}}{\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|}$

$=\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|:\left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|=7:3$
where

$\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|=\sqrt{4+9+36}=\sqrt{49}=7$

$\left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|=\sqrt{4+4+1}=\sqrt{9}=3$
Thus, the ratio is

$7:3$

Let

$\overrightarrow{u}=\hat{i}+\hat{j},\overrightarrow{v}=\hat{i}-\hat{j},\overrightarrow{w}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$ If

$\hat{n}$ is a unit vector such that

$\overrightarrow{u}.\hat{n}=0$ and

$\overrightarrow {v}.\hat{n}=0$ , then

$\left|\overrightarrow {w}.\hat{n}\right|=$

0%
$0$
0%
$1$
0%
$2$
0%
$3$

Explanation

$\overrightarrow{u}.\hat{n}=0$

$\overrightarrow{v}.\hat{n}=0$

$\Rightarrow\hat{n}$ is along

$\overrightarrow{u}\times\overrightarrow{v}$

$=\begin{bmatrix}\hat{i}&\hat{j}&\hat{k}\\1&1&0\\1&-1&0\end{bmatrix}=-2k$

$\therefore\hat{n}=\pm k$ (unit vector)

$\overrightarrow{w}.\hat{n}=\left(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\right).\left(\pm\hat{k}\right)$

$=\pm 3$

$\Rightarrow\left|\overrightarrow{w}.\hat{n}\right|=3$

Let

$\overrightarrow{a}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k},\overrightarrow{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and

$\overrightarrow{c}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}$ . A vector in the plane of

$\overrightarrow{a}$ and

$\overrightarrow{b}$ , where projection on

$\overrightarrow{c}$ is

$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ , is

0%
$4\hat{i}-\hat{j}+4\hat{k}$
0%
$3\hat{i}+\hat{j}-3\hat{k}$
0%
$2\hat{i}+\hat{j}$
0%
$4\hat{i}+\hat{j}-4\hat{k}$

Explanation

A vector in the plane of

$\overrightarrow{a}$ and

$\overrightarrow{b}$ is

$\overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b} =\left(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\right)+\lambda \left(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\right)$

$=\left(1+\lambda\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-\lambda\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+\lambda\right)\hat{k}$
If projection on

$\overrightarrow{c}$ is

$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \left(\overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b}\right).\dfrac{\overrightarrow{c}}{\left|\overrightarrow{c}\right|}=\pm \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+\lambda+2-\lambda-1-\lambda} {\sqrt{3}} =\pm \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow 2-\lambda=\pm 1$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=2\pm 1$

$\therefore \lambda=1$ ,or

$3$
If

$\lambda =1, \overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b}=\left(1+1\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-1\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+1\right)\hat{k}$

$=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$
If

$\lambda=3, \overrightarrow{a}+\lambda \overrightarrow{b} = \left(1+3\right)\hat{i}+\left(2-3\right)\hat{j}+\left(1+3\right)\hat{k}$

$=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}+4\hat{k}$

let

$\overrightarrow{u},\overrightarrow{v},\overrightarrow{w}$ be such that

$\left|\overrightarrow{u}\right|=1,\left|\overrightarrow{v}\right|=2,\left|\overrightarrow{w}\right|=3$ . If the projection of

$\overrightarrow{v}$ along

$\overrightarrow{u}$ is equal to the projection of

$\overrightarrow{w}$ along

$\overrightarrow{u}$ and

$\overrightarrow{v},\overrightarrow{w}$ are perpendicular to each other, then

$\left|\overrightarrow{u}-\overrightarrow{v}+\overrightarrow{w}\right|=$

0%
$2$
0%
$\sqrt{17}$
0%
$\sqrt{14}$
0%
$\sqrt{15}$

Explanation

Projection of

$\overrightarrow{v}$ along

$\overrightarrow{u} =\dfrac{\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}}{\left|\overrightarrow{u}\right|}=\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}$
Projection of

$\overrightarrow{w}$ along

$\overrightarrow{u} =\overrightarrow{w}.\overrightarrow{u}$

$\overrightarrow{v}\perp \overrightarrow{w} \Rightarrow \overrightarrow{v}.\overrightarrow{w}=0$ and

$\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}=\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{w} \left(given\right)$
Now,

${\left|\overrightarrow{u}-\overrightarrow{v}+\overrightarrow{w}\right|}^{2} ={\left|\overrightarrow{u}\right|}^{2}+{\left|\overrightarrow{v}\right|}^{2}+{\left|\overrightarrow{w}\right|}^{2}-2 \overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}-2 \overrightarrow{v}.\overrightarrow{w}+2 \overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{w}$

$= {1}^{2}+{2}^{2}+{3}^{2} = 14$ on simplification

$\therefore \left|\overrightarrow{u}-\overrightarrow{v}+\overrightarrow{w}\right|=\sqrt{14}$

$\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=vec{0}$ then

0%
$2\vec{b}\times \vec{c}$

Explanation

$\vec { a } +\vec { b } +\vec { c } =\vec { 0 }\ \dots(1) \, \, \, \, then,\, \, \\ \vec { a } \times \vec { b } =? \\ take\, \, (1)\, \, cross\, \, product\, \, with\, \, \vec { b } \, \,. \\ \Rightarrow \left( { \vec { a } +\vec { b } +\vec { c } } \right) \times \vec { b } =\vec { 0 } \times \vec { b } \\ \Rightarrow \vec { a } \times \vec { b } +\vec { b } \times \vec { b } +\vec { c } \times \vec { b } =0 \\ \to \vec { a } \times \vec { b } +0-\vec { b } \times \vec { c } =0 \\ \therefore \vec { a } \times \vec { b } =\vec { b } \times \vec { c } \, \, \, \,$

Explanation

$\begin{array}{l} i+2j+3k=\left( { 1,2,3 } \right) \\ -2i+3j+5k=\left( { -2,3,5 } \right) \\ 7i-k=\left( { 7,0,-1 } \right) \\ 1=\frac { { 7m-2 } }{ { m+1 } } \\ m+1=7m-2 \\ 3=6m \\ m=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \\ So,ratio\, \, is\, \, 1:2 \\ Option\, \, B\, \, \, is\, \, correct\, \, \, answer. \end{array}$

0%
$\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a}=\overrightarrow{b}$
0%
$\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a}=\left[\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b},\overrightarrow{c}\right]\overrightarrow{b}$

Explanation

$\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}=\overrightarrow{c}$

$\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{a}$ is perpendicular to

$\overrightarrow{c}$ and

$\overrightarrow{b}$ is perpendicular to

$\overrightarrow{c}$ and

$\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c}=\overrightarrow{a}$

$\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{c}\bot\overrightarrow{a}$

$\overrightarrow{b}\bot \overrightarrow{a}$

$\Rightarrow \left|\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{c}\right| , \left|\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|$

$\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|\left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{c}\right| , \left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|\left|\overrightarrow{c}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|$

$\therefore \left|\overrightarrow{a}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{c}\right|,\left|\overrightarrow{b}\right|=1$
Further

$\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a}=\left(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}\right)\times \left(\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c}\right)$

$\left(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}.\overrightarrow{c}\right)\overrightarrow{b}-\left(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}\right).\overrightarrow{b}\overrightarrow{c}$

$=\left[\overrightarrow{a} \overrightarrow{b} \overrightarrow{c}\right]\overrightarrow{b}$

Let

$\left| \overline { a } +\overline { b } \right| =\left| \overline { a } -\overline { b } \right|$ . If

0%
$\left| \overline { b } \right|$
0%
$1$
0%
$2$

Explanation

$|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|=|\bar{a}-\bar{b}|$

$|a|^2+|b|^2+2\bar{a}\cdot \bar{b}=|a|^2+|b|^2-2\bar{a}\cdot\bar{b}$

$4\bar{a}\cdot \bar{b}=0$

$\bar{a}\cdot \bar{b}=0$

$\Rightarrow \bar{a}$ &

$\bar{b}$ are perpendicular to each other.

$|\bar{a}\times \bar{b}|=|\bar{a}||\bar{b}|\sin\theta$

Since

$\bar{a}$ &

$\bar{b}$ are perpendicular,

$\theta =90^o$

$=|\bar{a}|\bar{b}|\sin 90^o$

$=|a||b|$

$\therefore \lambda =|b|$ .

Explanation

Given

$\left | \vec{a} \right |=5\left | \vec{b} \right |=4$

$\left | \vec{c} \right |=3$

$\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c} =0$

$\left | \vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c} \right |=0$

$\Rightarrow \left | \vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c} \right |^{2}=0=(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}).(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c})$

$\Rightarrow \vec{a}.\vec{a}+\vec{a}.\vec{b}+\vec{a}.\vec{c}+\vec{b}.\vec{a}+\vec{b}.\vec{b}+\vec{b}.\vec{c}+\vec{c}.\vec{a}+\vec{c}.\vec{b}+\vec{c}.\vec{c}=0$

$\left | \vec{a} \right |^{2}+\left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}+\left | \vec{c} \right |^{2}+ 2(\vec{a}\vec{b}+\vec{b}\vec{c}+\vec{c}\vec{a})=0$

$25+16+9+2(\vec{a}\vec{b}+\vec{b}\vec{c}+\vec{c}\vec{a})=0$

$\Rightarrow \vec{a}\vec{b}+\vec{b}\vec{c}+\vec{c}\vec{a}=-25$

$\therefore$ Option C is correct

$A(6,3,2),B(5,1,4),C(3,-4,7), D(0,2,5)$ are four points, then projection of

Explanation

Given

$\bar {a}, \bar {b}$ and

$\bar {c}$ are unit vector

we need maximum value, so :-

Let

$\bar {a}= \hat {i} \bar {b}= \hat {j}$ and

$\bar {c} = \hat {k}$

$|\bar {a}+ \bar {b}|^{2}+ |\bar {b}-\bar {c}|^{2}+ |\bar {c}-\bar {a}|^{2}$

$|\hat{i}+ \hat{j}|^{2}+ |\hat{j}- \hat{k}|^{2}+ |\hat{k}- \hat{i}|^{2}$

$(\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}})^{2}+ (\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}})^{2}+ (\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}})^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2+2+2=6$

$\therefore 6$ is the maximum value.

$\therefore |\bar {a}+ \bar {b}|+ |\bar {b} - \bar {c}| + |\bar {c}- \bar {a}|^{2}$ does not exceed

$6$

$\overline { a }$ and

$\overline { b }$ include an angle of

${120}^{o}$ and their magnitudes are

$2$ and

$\sqrt{3}$ then

$\overline { a } .\overline { b }$ is

0%
$3$
0%
$-\sqrt{3}$
0%
$\sqrt{3}$
0%
$-3$

Explanation

Given,

$|\vec{a}| = 2, \, |\vec{b}| = \sqrt{3}$

$\theta = 120^o$

$\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| cos \theta$

$= 2 \times \sqrt{3} \times cos \, 120^o$

$= 2 \sqrt{3} \times \left(\dfrac{-1}{2} \right)$

$\therefore \vec{a} . \vec{b} = - \sqrt{3}$

$\left| {\vec a} \right| = 2,\left| {\vec b} \right| = 3$ and

$\left| {2\vec a - \vec b} \right| = 5,$ then

$\left| {2\vec a + \vec b} \right|$ equals:

0%
$17$
0%
$7$
0%
$5$
0%
$1$

Explanation

We have

$\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = 2\,\,\,\,\,\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right| = 3\,\,\,$

And,

$\left| {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right| = 5$

We have to find the value of

$\left| {2\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right|$

Now

$\left| {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right|.\left| {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right| = 25$

$4{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} - 4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b = 25$

$25 - 4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b = 25$

$\therefore \overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b = 0$

Then for

$\overrightarrow a \bot \overrightarrow b$

${\left| {2\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right|^2} = \left( {2\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right).\left( {2\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right)$

$= 4{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + 4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b$

$= 4 \times 4 + 9 = 25$

$\therefore \left| {2\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right| = 5$

Hence, the option

$C$ is the correct answer.

If the vectors

$\overrightarrow { a } =\hat { i } -\hat { j } +2\hat { k } ;\overrightarrow { b } =2\hat { i } +4\hat { j } +\hat { k } ;\overrightarrow { c } =\lambda \hat { i } +\hat { j } +\mu \hat { k }$ are mutually orthogonal, then

$(\lambda,\mu)=$

0%
$(2,-3)$
0%
$(-2,3)$
0%
$(3,-2)$
0%
$(-3,2)$

Explanation

Given

$\vec{a} = \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$

$\vec{b} = 2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+\hat{k}$

$\vec{c} = \lambda \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\mu \hat{k}$

since, vector's are mutually orthogonal

$\therefore \vec{a}.\vec{b} = 0, \vec{b}.\vec{c} = 0, \vec{c}.\vec{a} = 0$

$\vec{b}.\vec{c} = 0$

$2\lambda +4+\mu = 0$ __ (1)

$\vec{c}.\vec{a} = 0$

$\lambda -1 +2\mu = 0$ __ (II)

$(1)\times 2$

$4\lambda +8+2\mu = 0$

$\lambda -1+2\mu = 0$

____________

$3\lambda +9 = 0$

$\Rightarrow \lambda = -3$

$-3-1+2\mu = 0$

$\Rightarrow \mu = 2$

Hence,

$(\lambda ,\mu ) =(-3,2)$

$\left| \overrightarrow { a } \right| =3,\left| \overrightarrow { b } \right| =4$ , if

$\left( \overrightarrow { a } +\lambda \overrightarrow { b } \right)$ is perpendicular to

$\left( \overrightarrow { a } -\lambda \overrightarrow { b } \right)$ then

$\lambda =$

0%
$\cfrac{9}{16}$
0%
$\cfrac{3}{5}$
0%
$\cfrac{3}{4}$
0%
$\cfrac{4}{3}$

Explanation

Given

$(\vec {a}+\lambda\vec {b})\bot (\vec {a}-\lambda {\vec{b}})$

$\therefore \quad (\vec {a}+\lambda \vec {b})(\vec {a}-\lambda \vec {b})=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad |\vec {a}|^{2}-\lambda^{2}|\vec {b}|^{2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad 9-\lambda^{2}\cdot 16^{2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad \dfrac {9}{16}=\lambda^{2}$

$\therefore \quad \lambda=\pm \dfrac {3}{4}$

$\therefore \quad \lambda =\dfrac {3}{4},\lambda=-\dfrac {3}{4}$

Let

$\bar{a},\bar{b}$ be two noncollinear vectors. If

$A=(x+4y)\bar{a}+(2x+y+1)\bar{b},$

$B=(y-2x+2)\bar{a}+(2x-3y-1)\bar{b} \quad and \quad 3A=2B$ then (x,y) =

0%
(1,2)
0%
(1,-2)
0%
(2,-1)
0%
(-2,-1)

Explanation

$3A=(3x+12y)\bar{a}+(6x+3y+3)\bar{b}$

$2B=(2y-4x+4)\bar{a}+(4x-6y-2)\bar{b}$

$3A=2B$

$\Rightarrow 3x+12y=2y-4x+4$ &

$6x+3y+3=4x-6y-2$

$7x+10y=4$ &

$2x+9y=-5$

Solving

$7x+10y=4$ &

$2x+9y=-5$

We get

$x=2$ ,

$y=-1$

$\therefore (x, y)=(2, -1)$ .

Explanation

Given that:

$\vec{P}=2\hat i+\hat j -3\hat k$

$\vec Q=\hat i-2\hat j -\hat k$

Now

We know that projection of

$\vec P$ on

$\vec Q$ is :

$\frac{\vec P . \vec Q}{|\vec Q|}$

So,

$\vec P.\vec Q=(2\hat i+\hat j-3\hat k).(\hat i-2\hat j-\hat k)$

$\vec P.\vec Q=2\times1+(1\times(-2))+(-3\times-1)$

$\vec P.\vec Q=2-2+3$

$\vec P.\vec Q=3$

Now

$|\vec Q|=\sqrt{1+4+1}=\sqrt6$

So,

$proj{\vec Q}{\vec P}=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt6}$

$proj{\vec Q}{\vec P}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt2}$

The position vectors of the points A,B,C are

$\overline { i } + 2 \overline { j } - \overline { k } , \overline { i } + \overline { j } + \overline { k } , 2 \overline { i } + 3 \overline { j } + 2 \overline { k }$ respectively. If A is chosen as the origin then the position vectors of B and C are

0%
$\overline { i } + 2 \overline { k } , \overline { i } + \overline { j } + 3 \overline { k }$

0%
$- \overline { j } + 2 \overline { k } , \overline { i } + \overline { j } + 3 \overline { k }$

Explanation

$\textbf{Step1-Find position vector from given point}$

$\text{The origin is shifted so the new position vectors of B and C would}$

$\text{ be the difference of the old position vectors and the new origin vector i.e.}$

$(i+j+k) - (i+2j-k) = -j+2k$ (

$\text{ New position vector of point B}$ )

$(2i+3j+2k) - (i+2j-k) = i+j+3k$ (

$\text{ New position vector of point A}$ )

$\textbf{Hence , option D is correct}$

Given

$\vec{\alpha} = 3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}\ ,\ \vec{\beta} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 4\hat{k}$ are the position vectors of the points

$A$ and

$B$ . Then the distance of the point

$-\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ from the passing through

$B$ and perpendicular to

$AB$ is

0%
$-7$
0%
$10$
0%

0%
$20$

Explanation

We have,

$\overrightarrow{\alpha }=3\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{\beta }=\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-4\widehat{k}$

So,

$\overrightarrow{AB}=\overrightarrow{\beta }-\overrightarrow{\alpha }$

$\overrightarrow{AB}=\left( \widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-4\widehat{k} \right)-\left( 3\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+2\widehat{k} \right)$

$\overrightarrow{AB}=\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}-4\widehat{k}-3\widehat{i}-\widehat{j}-2\widehat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{AB}=-2\widehat{i}-3\widehat{j}-6\widehat{k}$

Now, equation of plane passing through the point and perpendiular vector is

So,

$\left( -2\widehat{i}-3\widehat{j}-6\widehat{k} \right).\left( x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k} \right)=\left( -2\widehat{i}-3\widehat{j}-6\widehat{k} \right).\left( -\widehat{i}+\widehat{j}+\widehat{k} \right)$

$\Rightarrow 2x+3y+6z=2-3-6$

$\Rightarrow 2x+3y+6z=-7$

Hence, this is the answer.

$\Rightarrow \vec{s}=\dfrac{\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{2\lambda}+\vec{a}$ …….

$(1)$

$\vec{SQ}=\mu \vec{BO}$

$\dfrac{\vec{a}+\vec{c}}{2}=\mu (\vec{s}-\vec{b})$

$\Rightarrow \vec{s}=\dfrac{\vec{a}+\vec{c}}{2\mu}+\vec{b}$ ……….

$(2)$

$\vec{a}+\dfrac{\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{2\lambda}=\vec{b}+\dfrac{\vec{a}+\vec{c}}{2\mu}$

$\Rightarrow \vec{a}+\dfrac{\vec{b^2}}{2\lambda}+\dfrac{\vec{c}}{2\lambda}=\vec{b}+\dfrac{\vec{a}}{2\mu}+\dfrac{\vec{c}}{2\mu}$

$\therefore 1=\dfrac{1}{2\mu}$

$\Rightarrow \mu =\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \vec{s}=\vec{a}+\vec{c}+\vec{b}$

$\therefore \vec{SO}=\vec{SA}+\vec{SB}+\vec{SC}$ .

$\begin{array}{l} let,\, \, \, V=T+2\bar { y } +2k \\ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \left| V \right| =\sqrt { 1+4{ x^{ 2 } }+4 } \\ And,\, \, \, U=\sqrt { 2T+(2x+2)y+(6x-2)k } \\ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \left| U \right| =\sqrt { 4+4{ { (x+1) }^{ 2 } }+4{ { (3x-1) }^{ 2 } } } \\ According\, to\, the\, condition:2\left| V \right| =\left| U \right| \\ \Rightarrow 2\left( { \sqrt { 1+4{ x^{ 2 } }+4 } } \right) =\sqrt { 4+4{ { (x+1) }^{ 2 } }+4{ { (3x-1) }^{ 2 } } } \\ \Rightarrow { 2^{ 2 } }\left( { 1+4{ x^{ 2 } }+4 } \right) =4+4{ (x+1)^{ 2 } }+4{ (3x-1)^{ 2 } } \\ \Rightarrow 4\left( { 5+4{ x^{ 2 } } } \right) =4\left[ { 1+{ { (x+1) }^{ 2 } }+{ { (3x-1) }^{ 2 } } } \right] \\ \Rightarrow \left( { 5+4{ x^{ 2 } } } \right) =1+{ (x+1)^{ 2 } }+{ (3x-1)^{ 2 } } \\ \Rightarrow \left( { 5+4{ x^{ 2 } } } \right) =1+{ x^{ 2 } }+1+2x+9{ x^{ 2 } }+1-6x \\ \Rightarrow 5+4{ x^{ 2 } }=3+10{ x^{ 2 } }-4x \\ \Rightarrow 6{ x^{ 2 } }-4x-2=0 \\ \Rightarrow (x-1)\, (6x+2)=0 \\ \therefore \, \, x=1,\frac { { -2 } }{ 6 } =\frac { { -1 } }{ 3 } \\ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, x=1,\frac { { -1 } }{ 3 } \\ so\, that\, the\, correct\, option\, is\, C. \end{array}$

$\lambda$

$\text{Given}$

${|\overrightarrow a|=}$

${|\overrightarrow b|=}$

${|\overrightarrow c|}=4$

$|\ {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c|= }$

${|\overrightarrow b|}$

${|\overrightarrow c|}$

$sin{\theta=}$

$\sqrt15$

$\Rightarrow$

$Sin{\theta=}$

$\frac{\sqrt15}{4}$

$\Rightarrow$

$Cos{\theta=}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\text{Now}$

The length of the projection of the line segment joining the points

$(5, -1, 4)$ and

$(4, -1, 3)$ on the plane ,

$x+ y+ z = 7$ is :

0%
$\dfrac{2}{3}$
0%
$\dfrac{1}{3}$
0%
$\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}$
0%
$\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Explanation

Here

$PQ$ is the projection

Also

$PQ=BC$

$AC=\overline { AB } .\overline { BC } =\left( \hat { i } +\hat { k } \right) .\left( \dfrac { \hat { i } +\hat { j } +\hat { k } }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \right)$

$=2/\sqrt {3}$

Also,

$AB=\sqrt {2}$

$AB=AC^{2}+BC^{2}=2=4/3+BC^{2}$

$BC^{2}=2/3$

$BC=\sqrt {2/3}$
