Correct answer

D. 1414

Step-by-step solution

Given,

\overset{\to}{a} = \alpha\overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} - \overset{^}{k}, \overset{\to}{b} = - 2\overset{^}{i} + \alpha\overset{^}{j} + \overset{^}{k},

Area of parallelogram = \left|\overset{^}{a} \times \overset{^}{b}\right|</p><p>\overset{^}{a} \times \overset{^}{b} = \sqrt{{\left(\alpha + 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(\alpha - 2\right)}^{2} + {\left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)}^{2}}

Given \left|\overset{^}{a} \times \overset{^}{b}\right|=15(α2+4)= \sqrt{15 \left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)}</p><p>So,</p><p>So,2\left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)+(α2+4)+ {\left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)}^{2} = 15 \left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ {\left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)}^{2} = 13 \left({\alpha}^{2} + 4\right)

⇒α2+4=13∴α2=9⇒ {\alpha}^{2} + 4 = 13 ∴ {\alpha}^{2} = 9

Now, 2∣a→∣2+(a→⋅b→)∣b→∣22{\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|}^{2} + \left(\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right){\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}

∣a→∣2=α2+4+1=α2+5{\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|}^{2} = {\alpha}^{2} + 4 + 1 = {\alpha}^{2} + 5

∣b→∣2=4+α2+1=α2+5{| \overset{\to}{b} |}^{2} = 4 + {\alpha}^{2} + 1 = {\alpha}^{2} + 5

a→⋅b→=−2α+2α−1=−1\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b} = - 2\alpha + 2\alpha - 1 = - 1

∴2∣a→∣2+(a→⋅b→)∣b→∣2∴ 2{\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|}^{2} + \left(\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right){\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}

2(α2+5)−1(α2+5)=α2+5=142\left({\alpha}^{2} + 5\right) - 1\left({\alpha}^{2} + 5\right) = {\alpha}^{2} + 5 = 14
