Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\hat{\mathbf{-i}}-8 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(d) Three vectors \(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}\) and \(\mathrm{c}\) are given as, \(a=2 \hat{i}+\hat{k}, b=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and \(c=4 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\) Given condition, \(\mathrm{r} \times \mathrm{b}=\mathrm{c} \times \mathrm{b}\)…
