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

Let the vectors \(\vec{a}=(1+t) \hat{i}+(1-t) \hat{j}+\hat{k}\), \(\overrightarrow{ b }=(1- t ) \hat{ i }+(1+ t ) \hat{ j }+2 \hat{ k }\) and \(\overrightarrow{ c }=\hat{ i }- t \hat{ j }+\hat{ k }, t \in R\) be such that for \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma \in R , \alpha \overrightarrow{ a }+\beta \overrightarrow{ b }+\gamma \overrightarrow{ c }=\overrightarrow{0}\) \(\Rightarrow \alpha=\beta=\gamma=0\). Then, the set of all values of \(t\) is.

  1. A a non-empty finite set
  2. B equal to \(N\)
  3. C equal to \(R -\{0\}\)
  4. D equal to \(R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) equal to \(R -\{0\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By its given condition: \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}\) are linearly independent vectors \([\overline{ a } \overline{ b } \overline{ c }] \neq 0\) Now, \([\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]\) \(=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+ t & 1- t & 1 \\ 1- t & 1+ t & 2 \\ t & - t & 1\end{array}\right|\)…
