JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 10. vector algebra
Let \(\vec a = 2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k\), \(\vec b = \hat i + 2\hat j - \hat k\) and \(\vec c = \hat i + \hat j - 2\hat k\) be three vectors. A vector of the type \(\vec b + \lambda \vec c\) for some scalar \(\lambda \), whose projection on \(\vec a\) is of magnitude \(\sqrt {\frac{2}{3}} \) is
- A \(2\hat i + \hat j + 5\hat k\)
- B \(2\hat i +3 \hat j - 3\hat k\)
- C \(2\hat i - \hat j + 5\hat k\)
- D \(2\hat i + 3\hat j + 3\hat k\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(2\hat i +3 \hat j - 3\hat k\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(\vec{d}=\vec{b}+\lambda \vec{c}\) \(\therefore \vec d = i + 2\hat j - \hat k + \lambda (\hat i + \hat j - 2\hat k)\) \(=(1+\lambda) \hat{i}+(2+\lambda) \hat{j}-(1+2 \lambda) \hat{k}\) If \(\theta\) be the angle between \(\vec{d}\) and \(\vec{a}\), then projection of…
