Two particles are located at equal distance from origin. The position vectors of those are represented by \(\bar{A}=2 \hat{i}+3 n \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\) and \(\bar{B}=2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 p \hat{k}\), respectively. If both the vectors are at right angle to each other, the value of \(\mathrm{n}^{-1}\) is _____ .

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=0 \\ & 4-6 \mathrm{n}+8 \mathrm{p}=0 \\ & |\overrightarrow{\mathrm{~A}}|=|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}| \\ & 4+9 \mathrm{n}^2+4=4+4+16 \mathrm{p}^2 \\ & 9 \mathrm{n}^2=16 \mathrm{p}^2 \\ & \mathrm{P}=+\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{n} \\ & 4-6 \mathrm{n} \pm 6 \mathrm{n}=0 \\ & 12 \mathrm{n}=4 \\ & \mathrm{n}=\frac{1}{3}\end{aligned}\)
