Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \([\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c}]=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vector \(\mathbf{a}\) lie in the plane of vector \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\). \(\therefore\) a,b, c are coplanar vectors. Hence, a \[ \begin{aligned} (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) & =0 \\ {[\mathbf{a} \mathbf{b} \mathbf{c}] } & =0 \end{aligned} \]
