Let a→,b→\overset{\to}{a}, \overset{\to}{b} and c→\overset{\to}{c} be three non - coplanar unit vectors such that the angle between every pair of them is π3.\dfrac{\pi}{3} . If a→×b→+b→×c→=pa→+qb→+rc→\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b} + \overset{\to}{b} \times \overset{\to}{c} = p\overset{\to}{a} + q\overset{\to}{b} + r\overset{\to}{c} , where p, q and r are scalars, then the value of p2+2q2+r2q2\dfrac{{p}^{2} + 2{q}^{2} + {r}^{2}}{{q}^{2}} is _______

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right| = \left|\overset{\to}{b}\right| = \left|\overset{\to}{c}\right| = 1<br/><br />\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b} + \overset{\to}{b} \times \overset{\to}{c} = p\overset{\to}{a} + q\overset{\to}{b} + r\overset{\to}{c}<br/><br />\overset{\to}{a} . \left(\overset{\to}{b} \times \overset{\to}{c}\right) = p + q\left(\overset{\to}{a} . \overset{\to}{b}\right) + r\left(\overset{\to}{a} . \overset{\to}{c}\right)<br/>And[a→b→c→]=12<br />And \left[\overset{\to}{a}\overset{\to}{b}\overset{\to}{c}\right] = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
p+q2+r2=[a→b→c→]p + \dfrac{q}{2} + \dfrac{r}{2} = \left[\overset{\to}{a}\overset{\to}{b}\overset{\to}{c}\right] .......(i)
p2+q+r2=0\dfrac{p}{2} + q + \dfrac{r}{2} = 0 ......(ii)
p2+q2+r=[a→b→c→]\dfrac{p}{2} + \dfrac{q}{2} + r = \left[\overset{\to}{a}\overset{\to}{b}\overset{\to}{c}\right] ......(iii)
⇒⇒ p=r=−qp = r = - q
p2+2q2+r2q2=4\dfrac{{p}^{2} + 2{q}^{2} + {r}^{2}}{{q}^{2}} = 4
