Let \(\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=6 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\) be two vectors.
Then a vector perpendicular to both \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) with magnitude 3 units is :

  1. A \(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\)
  2. B \(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
  3. C \(-(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})\)
  4. D \(-(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{c} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b}\) \(\vec{c} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 3 & 1 & -4 \\ 6 & 5 & -2 \end{vmatrix}\) \(\vec{c} = ((1)(-2) - (-4)(5)) \hat{i} - ((3)(-2) - (-4)(6)) \hat{j} + ((3)(5) - (1)(6)) \hat{k}\)…
