If A =3 -2 j + k , B = -3 j +5 k and C =2 + -4 k form a right...

If A→=3ı^−2j^+k^,B→=ı^−3j^+5k^\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=3 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+5 \hat{\mathrm{k}} and C→=2ı^+ȷ^−4k^\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}=2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-4 \hat{\mathrm{k}} form a right angled triangle then out of the following which one is satisfied?

Options

  1. AB→=A→+C→,B2=A2+C2\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}, \mathrm{B}^{2}=\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{C}^{2}
  2. BA→=B→+C→,B2=A2−C2\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}, \mathrm{B}^{2}=\mathrm{A}^{2}-\mathrm{C}^{2}
  3. CC→=A→+B→,C2=A2+B2\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}, \mathrm{C}^{2}=\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{B}^{2}
  4. DA→=B→+C→,B2=A2+C2\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}, \mathrm{B}^{2}=\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{C}^{2}

Correct answer

D. A→=B→+C→,B2=A2+C2\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}, \mathrm{B}^{2}=\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{C}^{2}

Step-by-step solution

A⃗=3i^−2j^+k^B⃗=ı^−3ȷ^+5k^C⃗=2ı^+ȷ^−4k^\begin{array}{l} \vec{A}=3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ \vec{B}=\hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+5 \hat{k} \\ \vec{C}=2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-4 \hat{k} \end{array}Here, A⃗=(ı^−3ȷ^+5k^)+(2ı^+ȷ^−4k^)=(B⃗+c⃗)=3ı^−2ȷ^+k^ Satisfied A⃗=B⃗+C⃗\begin{aligned} \vec{A}&=(\hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+5 \hat{k})+(2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-4 \hat{k}) \\ &=(\vec{B}+\vec{c}) \\ &=3 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k} \\ \text { Satisfied } \vec{A}=\vec{B}+\vec{C} \end{aligned}and A2=(14)2=14B2=35C2=21 So, B2=A2+C2\begin{array}{l}A^{2}=(\sqrt{14})^{2}=14 \\ B^{2}=35 \\ C^{2}=21 \\ \text { So, }B^{2}=A^{2}+C^{2} \end{array}
