Let a → = 2 i ^ - 7 j ^ + 5 k ^ , b → = i ^ + k ^ and c → = i ^ + 2 j ^ - 3 k ^ be three given vectors. If r → is a vector such that r → × a → = c → × a → and r → · b → = 0 , then | r → | is equal to:
Options
- A11 7 2
- B11 7
- C11 5 2
- D914 7
Correct answer
A. 11 7 2
Step-by-step solution
Given data as below: a → = 2 i ^ - 7 j ^ + 5 k ^ b → = i ^ + k ^ c → = i ^ + 2 j ^ - 3 k ^ Given, r → × a → = c → × a → ⇒ ( r → - c → ) × a → = 0 It means ( r → - c → ) is parallel to a → , ∴ r → = c → + λ a → . . . . . . . ( 1 ) Given, r → · b → = 0 From equation (1), c → + λ a → · b → = 0 ⇒ c → · b → + λ b → &
