D. 99

Step-by-step solution

Since vector v→,a→ and  b→\overset{\to}{v}, \overset{\to}{a} \text{\text{ and } } \overset{\to}{b} are coplanar then, v→=λ1a→+λ2b→\overset{\to}{v} = {\lambda}_{1}\overset{\to}{a} + {\lambda}_{2}\overset{\to}{b}, where λ1,λ2∈R{\lambda}_{1}, {\lambda}_{2} \in \mathbb{R}.

⇒ \overset{\to}{v} = \left({\lambda}_{1} + 2{\lambda}_{2}\right)\overset{^}{i} + \left({\lambda}_{1} - 3{\lambda}_{2}\right)\overset{^}{j} + \left(2{\lambda}_{1} + {\lambda}_{2}\right)\overset{^}{k}

∵∵ Projection of v→\overset{\to}{v} on c→\overset{\to}{c} is 23\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

∴λ1+2λ2−λ1+3λ2+2λ1+λ23=23∴ \dfrac{{\lambda}_{1} + 2{\lambda}_{2} - {\lambda}_{1} + 3{\lambda}_{2} + 2{\lambda}_{1} + {\lambda}_{2}}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

∴λ1+3λ2=1...(1)∴ {\lambda}_{1} + 3{\lambda}_{2} = 1 . . . \left(1\right)

and \overset{\to}{v} \cdot \overset{^}{j} = 7 ⇒ {\lambda}_{1} - 3{\lambda}_{2} = 7 . . . \left(2\right)</p><p>⇒ \overset{\to}{v} = \left({\lambda}_{1} + 2{\lambda}_{2}\right)\overset{^}{i} + \left({\lambda}_{1} - 3{\lambda}_{2}\right)\overset{^}{j} + (2λ1+λ2)\left(2{\lambda}_{1} + {\lambda}_{2}\right)\overset{^}{k}</p><p></p><p>∴ {\lambda}_{1} + 3{\lambda}_{2} = 1 . . . \left(1\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ {\lambda}_{1} - 3{\lambda}_{2} = 7\left(2\right)
From equation (1)\left(1\right) and \left(2\right), we get

λ1=4,λ2=−1{\lambda}_{1} = 4, {\lambda}_{2} = - 1

∴ \overset{\to}{v} = 2\overset{^}{i} + 7\overset{^}{j} + 7\overset{^}{k}

∴ \overset{\to}{v} \cdot \left(\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{k}\right) = 2 + 7 = 9</p></p>
