Correct answer

A. 9090

Step-by-step solution

Given: {\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} = 6, \overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b} = 3\sqrt{2}, \overset{\to}{a} = \overset{^}{i} + \alpha\overset{^}{j} + \beta\overset{^}{k}

We know that, a→.b→=∣a→∣∣b→∣cosθ\overset{\to}{a} . \overset{\to}{b} = \left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|cos\theta

⇒32=12+α2+β2(6)cosπ4⇒ 3\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{{1}^{2} + {\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2}}\left(\sqrt{6}\right)cos\dfrac{\pi}{4}

⇒32=12+α2+β2(3)⇒ 3\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{{1}^{2} + {\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2}}\left(\sqrt{3}\right)

⇒1+α2+β2=6⇒ \sqrt{1 + {\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2}} = \sqrt{6}

⇒1+α2+β2=6⇒ 1 + {\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2} = 6

⇒α2+β2=5⇒ {\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2} = 5

Also, \left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right| = \left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|sin\theta</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right| = \sqrt{6}\sqrt{6}sin\dfrac{\pi}{4} = \dfrac{6}{\sqrt{2}}</p><p></p><p>⇒ {\left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} = 18</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left({\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2}\right){\left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} = 5 \times 18</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left({\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2}\right){\left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} = 90
