Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

a→and\overset{\to}{a} and\overset{\to}{b}betwovectorssuchthat ∣a→∣=1,∣b→∣=4be two vectors such that \left|\overset{\to}{a}\right| = 1, \left|\overset{\to}{b}\right| = 4 and a→⋅b→=2\overset{\to}{a} ⋅ \overset{\to}{b} = 2.

Also, given

c→=(2a→×b→)−3b→\overset{\to}{c} = \left(2\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right) - 3\overset{\to}{b}

Taking dot product with b→\overset{\to}{b} both side we get,

⇒b→⋅c→=(2a→×b→)⋅b→−3∣b∣2⇒ \overset{\to}{b} ⋅ \overset{\to}{c} = \left(2\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right) ⋅ \overset{\to}{b} - 3{\left|b\right|}^{2}

⇒∣b→∣∣c→∣cosα=0−3∣b→∣2⇒ \left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|\left|\overset{\to}{c}\right|cos\alpha = 0 - 3{\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}

⇒∣c→∣cosα=−12⇒ \left|\overset{\to}{c}\right|cos\alpha = - 12 {as \left|\overset{\to}{b}\right| = 4}</p><p>Now, solving\overset{\to}{a} ⋅ \overset{\to}{b} = 2</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|cos\theta = 2</p><p></p><p>⇒ cos\theta = \dfrac{1}{2} ⇒ \theta = \dfrac{\pi}{3}</p><p>Now,solving</p><p></p><p>Now, solving</p><p>{\left|\overset{\to}{c}\right|}^{2} = {\left|\left(2\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right) - 3\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ {\left|\overset{\to}{c}\right|}^{2} = 64 \times \dfrac{3}{4} + 144 = 192</p><p>Now,squaringbothsideof ∣c→∣cosα=−12</p><p>Now, squaring both side of \left|\overset{\to}{c}\right|cos\alpha = - 12 we get,

∣c→∣2cos⁡2α=144{\left|\overset{\to}{c}\right|}^{2}\cos^{2}\alpha = 144

⇒192cos⁡2α=144⇒ 192\cos^{2}\alpha = 144

⇒192(1−sin⁡2α)=144⇒ 192\left(1 - \sin^{2}\alpha\right) = 144

⇒192sin⁡2α=48⇒ 192\sin^{2}\alpha = 48
