\(\begin{aligned} & \text { If } \bar{a}=4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}, \quad \overline{\mathrm{b}}=\hat{i}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ & \text { then } \bar{a} \times(\bar{a} \times(\bar{a} \times(\bar{a} \times \overline{\mathrm{b}})))=\end{aligned}\)

  1. A \(676 \bar{a}\)
  2. B \(676 \overline{\mathrm{~b}}\)
  3. C \(625 \bar{a}\)
  4. D \(625 \overline{\mathrm{~b}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(676 \overline{\mathrm{~b}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\bar{a} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}} = (4)(1) + (3)(-2) + (1)(2) = 4 - 6 + 2 = 0\) \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{a} = |\bar{a}|^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 + 1^2 = 16 + 9 + 1 = 26\)
