Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(|\mathbf{a}|=|\mathbf{b}|=|\mathbf{c}|=1\) and \(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}=0=\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}\) angle between \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}=\frac{\pi}{3}\) To find, \(|\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}-\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{c}|\) Given that,…
