Let \(\bar{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}, \overline{\mathrm{b}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}=\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}\) be three vectors such that \(\bar{a} \times \overline{\mathrm{b}}=\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) and \(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{c}=0\). If the length of projection vector of the vector \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) on the vector \(\bar{a} \times \overline{\mathrm{c}}\) is \(l\), then the value of \(3 l^2\) is
- A 1
- B 2
- C 4
- D 6
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\overline{a} \times \overline{c} = (\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \times (\hat{j}-\hat{k}) = -2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) \(||\overline{a} \times \overline{c}||^2 = (-2)^2+1^2+1^2 = 6\)
