Let \(\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\) be two vectors, and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\) be a vector along the vector \(3 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}-2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}\) such that \(|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}|=\sqrt{74}\). If the direction of \(\vec{r}\) is opposite to that of \(3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}\), then \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-7 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}, \vec{b}=\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\) Now, \(3 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}-2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=3(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}})-2(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-5 \hat{\mathrm{k}})\)…
