If \(\bar{a}, \overline{\mathrm{~b}}, \overline{\mathrm{c}}\) are three coplanar vectors such that \(|\bar{a}|=1,|\overline{\mathrm{~b}}|=2, \overline{\mathrm{~b}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}}=8\) and the angle between \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) is \(45^{\circ}\) then the value of \(|\bar{a} \times(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \times \overline{\mathrm{c}})|\) is

  1. A 8
  2. B \(\sqrt{2}\)
  3. C 2

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(\bar{a}, \overline{\mathrm{b}}, \overline{\mathrm{c}}\) are coplanar, \(\bar{a}\) is perpendicular to \((\overline{\mathrm{b}} \times \overline{\mathrm{c}})\). \(|\bar{a} \times(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \times \overline{\mathrm{c}})| = |\bar{a}| |(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \times \overline{\mathrm{c}})| \sin(90^{\circ})\)
