If a → , b → and c → are three vectors, such that a → = 2 , b → = 3 , c → = 4 , a → ⋅ c → = 0 , a → ⋅ b → = 0 and the angle between b → and c → is π 3 , then the value of a → × 2 b → - 3 c → is equal to
Options
- A12 3
- B6 3
- C3 3
- D5
Correct answer
A. 12 3
Step-by-step solution
2 b → - 3 c → 2 = 4 b → 2 + 9 c → 2 - 12 b → ⋅ c → = 36 + 144 - 12 × 3 × 4 × 1 2 = 10 8 2 b → - 3 c → = 6 3 As we know that, a → × 2 b → - 3 c → 2 + a → ⋅ 2 b → - 3 c → 2 = a → 2 2 b → - 3 c → 2 ⇒ a → × 2 b → - 3 c → 2 + 0 = 4 × 10 8 ⇒ a → × 2 b → - 3 c → = 12 3
