If \overset{\to}{a} = 2\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{j} + 3\overset{^}{k}, \overset{\to}{b} = 3\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} + \overset{^}{k} and\overset{\to}{c} = {c}_{1}\overset{^}{i} + {c}_{2}\overset{^}{j} + {c}_{3}\overset{^}{k}arecoplanarvectorsandare coplanar vectors and\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{c} = 5, \overset{\to}{b} ⊥ \overset{\to}{c},then, then122(c1+c2+c3)\left({c}_{1} + {c}_{2} + {c}_{3}\right) is equal to ______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

As the given vectors are coplanar, so \left|\begin{cases}2 & 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 3 & 1 \\ {c}_{1} & {c}_{2} & {c}_{3}\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒8c1−7c2−3c3=0...(i)⇒ 8{c}_{1} - 7{c}_{2} - 3{c}_{3} = 0 . . . \left(i\right)

Also, a→⋅c→=5⇒2c1+c2+3c3=5...(ii)\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{c} = 5 ⇒ 2{c}_{1} + {c}_{2} + 3{c}_{3} = 5 . . . \left(ii\right)

and b→⋅c→=0⇒3c1+3c2+c3=0...(iii)\overset{\to}{b} \cdot \overset{\to}{c} = 0 ⇒ 3{c}_{1} + 3{c}_{2} + {c}_{3} = 0 . . . \left(iii\right)

Solving the above three equations using Cramer's rule, we get,

∆ = \left|\begin{cases}8 & - 7 & - 3 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 3 & 1\end{cases}\right| = - 122

{∆}_{1} = \left|\begin{cases}0 & - 7 & - 3 \\ 5 & 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 3 & 1\end{cases}\right| = - 10

{∆}_{2} = \left|\begin{cases}8 & 0 & - 3 \\ 2 & 5 & 3 \\ 3 & 0 & 1\end{cases}\right| = 85

{∆}_{3} = \left|\begin{cases}8 & - 7 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 5 \\ 3 & 3 & 0\end{cases}\right| = - 225

Hence, 122(c1+c2+c3)=122(10122−85122+225122)=150122\left({c}_{1} + {c}_{2} + {c}_{3}\right) = 122\left(\dfrac{10}{122} - \dfrac{85}{122} + \dfrac{225}{122}\right) = 150
