Let x = i +3 j -2 k , y =2 i +4 j + k and a vector z satisfying x z = x y and z x =0 . Then [| z |] is greater than, (where [.] denotes greatest integer function)
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
x z = x y x ( z - y )=0 z - y = x z = y + x =2 i +4 j + k + ( i +3 j -2 k ) z =(2+ ) i + j (4+3 )+ k (1-2 ) z x =0 2+ +3(4+3 )-2(1-2 )=0 aligned & 2+ +12+9 -2+4 =0 & 14 =-12 aligned =- 6 7 so z = 8 7 i + 10 7 j + 19 7 k | z |= 1 7 8^2+10^2+19^2 [| z |]=3
