If → a = ^ i + 2 ^ j + 3 ^ k , → b = - ^ i + 2 ^ j + ^ k , → c = 3...

If \overset{→}{a} = \overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} + 3\overset{^}{k}, \overset{→}{b} = - \overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} + \overset{^}{k}, \overset{→}{c} = 3\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{j} and a→+pb→\overset{→}{a} + p\overset{→}{b} is normal to c→\overset{→}{c}, then pp is equal to

Options

  1. A00
  2. B11
  3. C55
  4. D33

Correct answer

C. 55

Step-by-step solution

\left(\overset{→}{a} + p\overset{→}{b}\right)isnormaltois normal to\overset{→}{c}</p><p></p><p>∴ \left(\overset{→}{a} + p\overset{→}{b}\right) \cdot \overset{→}{c} = 0</p><p>\left(\left(1 - p\right)\overset{^}{i} + \left(2 + 2p\right)\overset{^}{j} + \left(3 + p\right)\overset{^}{k}\right) \cdot \left(3\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{j}\right) = 0

3−3p+2+2p=0⇒p=53 - 3p + 2 + 2p = 0 ⇒ p = 5
