Let a,b,c∈Ra, b, c \in R be all non-zero and satisfies a3+b3+c3=2{a}^{3} + {b}^{3} + {c}^{3} = 2. If the matrix A=A =\left[{abcbcacab\begin{cases}a & b & c \\ b & c & a \\ c & a & b\end{cases}\right]satisfiessatisfies{A}^{T}A = I, then a value of abcabc can be

Options

  1. A−13- \dfrac{1}{3}
  2. B13\dfrac{1}{3}
  3. C33
  4. D23\dfrac{2}{3}

Correct answer

B. 13\dfrac{1}{3}

Step-by-step solution

⇒2−3abc=(a+b+c).........(ii)⇒ 2 - 3abc = \left(a + b + c\right) . . . . . . . . . \left(ii\right)

Now, we also know that (a+b+c)2=a2+b2+c2+2(ab+bc+ca){\left(a + b + c\right)}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + {c}^{2} + 2\left(ab + bc + ca\right).

2−3abc=±12 - 3abc = \pm 1

⇒3abc=2∓1⇒ 3abc = 2 ∓ 1

⇒abc=13orabc=1⇒ abc = \dfrac{1}{3}\text{or}abc = 1
