Let a =2 i +5 j - k , b =2 i -2 j +2 k and c be three vectors such...

Let a→=2i^+5j^−k^,b→=2i^−2j^+2k^\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=2 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-\hat{k}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k} and c→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} be three vectors such that (c⃗+i^)×(a⃗+b⃗+i^)=a⃗×(c⃗+i^)(\vec{c}+\hat{i}) \times(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\hat{i})=\vec{a} \times(\vec{c}+\hat{i}). If a⃗⋅c⃗=−29\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=-29, then c⃗⋅(−2i^+j^+k^)\vec{c} \cdot(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) is equal to:

Options

  1. A15
  2. B12
  3. C10
  4. D5

Correct answer

D. 5

Step-by-step solution

Let's assume v⃗=a⃗+b⃗+i^=5i^+3j^+k^\begin{aligned} \vec{v} & =\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\hat{i} \\ & =5 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k} \end{aligned} and c→+i^=p→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}+\hat{\mathrm{i}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} So, p→×v→=a→×p→p→×v→+p→×a→=0→p→×(v→+a→)=0→⇒p→=λ(v→+a→)c→+i=λ(7i^+8j^)a‾⋅c‾+a‾⋅i^=λa‾⋅(7i^+8j^)−29+2=λ(14+40)λ=−12\begin{aligned} & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} \\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=\overrightarrow{0} \\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}} \times(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}})=\overrightarrow{0} \\ & \Rightarrow \overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}=\lambda(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}) \\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}+\mathrm{i}=\lambda(7 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \\ & \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}}+\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{i}}=\lambda \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot(7 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \\ & -29+2=\lambda(14+40) \\ & \lambda=-\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}\begin{gathered}\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \cdot(-2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})+\hat{\mathrm{i}} \cdot(-2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})=\lambda(7 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \cdot(-2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\ =-\frac{1}{2}(-14+8)+2=5\end{gathered}$
