Let . A vector coplanar to and has a projection along c of magnitude , then the vector is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let vector be coplanar to \mathbf{b}\mathbf{r}\mathbf{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathbf{r} \cdot \mathbf{c}}{|\mathbf{c}|}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Rightarrow \frac{|1 \cdot(1+t)+1 \cdot(2-t)-1 \cdot(1+t)|}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Rightarrow|2-t|=\pm 1 \Rightarrow t=1t=1\mathbf{r}=2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}t=3\mathbf{r}=4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{k}}$
