The area of the parallelogram for which the vectors i + j +2 k and 3 i -2 j + k are adjacent sides is equal to
Options
- A3 5
- B5 3
- C2 5
- D5 6
Correct answer
B. 5 3
Step-by-step solution
Let a = i + j +2 k and b =3 i -2 j + k Area of parallelogram =| a b | a b = | array ccc i & j & k 1 & 1 & 2 3 & -2 & 1 array | aligned & = i [1-(-4)]- j (1-6)+ k (-2-3) & =5 i +5 j -5 k aligned | a b |= 5^2+5^2+(-5)^2 =5 3
