JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 10. vector algebra

Let \(\overrightarrow{a}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and \(\overrightarrow{b}=\lambda \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}, \lambda \in Z\) be two vectors, Let \(\overrightarrow{ c }=\overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b }\) and \(\overrightarrow{ d }\) be a vector of magnitude 2 in yz-plane. If \(|\overrightarrow{ c |}=\sqrt{53}\), then the maximum possible value of \((\overrightarrow{ c } \cdot \overrightarrow{ d })^2\) is equal to :

  1. A 26
  2. B 104
  3. C 208
  4. D 52
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 208

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{a}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) \(\overrightarrow{ b }=\lambda \hat{ j }+2 \hat{ k } ; \lambda \in Z\) \(\overrightarrow{ c }=\overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b }=(-2-\lambda) \hat{ i }-4 \hat{ j }+2 \lambda \hat{ k }\)…
