Out of the given statement, choose the correct statement.
(A) The direction ratios of the vector \(\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\) is \(3,-1,4\).
(B) If \(\theta\) is the angle between two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\), then their cross product is given as \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \cos \theta\).
(C) The unit vector in the direction of vector \(\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\) is \(\hat{a}=\frac{1}{3}(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})\).
(D) If \(\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}\) and \(\vec{b}=4 \hat{j}\) then \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=12\).
(E) If \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) represent the adjacent sides of a triangle then its area is given of \(\frac{1}{2}|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A), (C) and (E) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement (A): Correct. Direction ratios of \(x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}+z\hat{k}\) are \(x,y,z\). Statement (B): Incorrect. \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \sin \theta \hat{n}\) or \(|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \sin \theta\). Statement (C): Correct.…
