JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 10. vector algebra
Let \(\vec a,\,\vec b,\) and \(\vec c\) be three unit vectors, out of which vectors \(\vec b\) and \(\vec c\) are non-parallel. If \(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) are the angles which vector \(\vec a\) makes with vectors \(\vec b\) and \(\vec c\) respectively and \(\vec a\,\, \times \,\,(\vec b\,\, \times \,\,\vec c)\,\, = \,\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,\vec b,\) then \(\left| {\alpha - \beta } \right|\) is equal to .............. \(^o\)
- A \(30\)
- B \(90\)
- C \(60\)
- D \(45\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(30\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\((\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{b}-(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}=\frac{1}{2} \vec{b}\) \(\because \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}\) are linearly independent \(\therefore \) \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=\frac{1}{2}\) and…
