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

Let \(\vec{a}=-\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}, \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=1\) and \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}\). Then \(\vec{a}-6 \vec{b}\) is equal to

  1. A \(3(\hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k})\)
  2. B \(3(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\)
  3. C \(3(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})\)
  4. D \(3(\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b }=(\hat{ i }-\hat{ j })\) Taking cross product with \(\overrightarrow{ a }\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \vec{a} \times(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})=\vec{a} \times(\hat{i}-\hat{j})\)…
