If a , b , c are mutually perpendicular vectors having magnitudes 1,2,3 respectively, then [ a + b + c b - a c ]=
Options
- A12
- B18
- C0
- D6
Correct answer
A. 12
Step-by-step solution
aligned & [ a + b + c b - a c ] & =( a + b + c ) [( b - a ) c ] & =( a + b + c ) [( b c )-( a c )] & = a ( b c )- b ( a c )= a ( b c )+ b ( c a ) & =2 a ( b c )=2(1)(2)(3)=12 aligned
