Let \(\vec{a}=4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\). Then
(A) \(\vec{a}\) is a unit vector
(B) \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\)
(C) \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are parallel vectors
(D) \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are neither parallel nor perpendicular vectors
Choose the \(\backslash\) textbf\{correct\} answer from the options given below :

  1. A (B) and (C) Only
  2. B (C) and (D) Only
  3. C (D) Only
  4. D (B) and (D) Only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B) and (D) Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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