- B2 3
- C2
- D3 2
Correct answer
A. 3 2
Step-by-step solution
Given, a → = 2 i ^ + j ^ - 2 k ^ a → = 4 + 1 + 4 = 3 Now, a → × b → = i ^ j ^ k ^ 2 1 - 2 1 1 0 = 2 i ^ - 2 j ^ + k ^ Then, a → × b → = 4 + 4 + 1 = 3 Now, we have c → - a → = 2 2 ⇒ c → - a → 2 = 8 ⇒ c → 2 + a → 2 - 2 c → · a → = 8 ⇒ c → 2 + 9 - 2 c → = 8 ⇒ c → 2 - 2 c → + 1 = 0 ⇒ c → - 1 2 = 0 ⇒ c → = 1 Now, a → × b → × c
