If the projection of 2 i ^ + 4 j ^ - 2 k ^ on i ^ + 2 j ^ + α k ^ is zero. Then, the value of α will be

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given here: a → = 2 i ^ + 4 j ^ - 2 k ^ and b → = i ^ + 2 j ^ + α k ^ Now, a → · b → = 0 , as a → should be perpendicular to b → . ∴     2 × 1 + 4 × 2 - 2 × α = 0   ∴     α = 5
