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

Let \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}} .\) If \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}\) is a vector such that \(\vec{a} \times \vec{c}=\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=3\), then \(\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\) is equal to :

  1. A \(-2\)
  2. B \(-6\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{3} ; \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=3 ; \vec{a} \times \vec{b}=-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}, \vec{a} \times \vec{c}=\vec{b}\) Cross with \(\vec{a}\). \(\vec{a} \times(\vec{a} \times \vec{c})=\vec{a} \times \vec{b}\)…
