If \(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}\) are three non-coplanar vectors and \(\mathbf{d}\) is any unit vector, then \(|(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{d})(\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c})+(\mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{d})(\mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a})+(\mathbf{c} \cdot \mathbf{d})(\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b})|=\)

  1. A \(2 \mid[\mathrm{abc}]\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} \mid[a b c]\)
  3. C \([\mathrm{abc}] \mid\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{6}[\mathbf{a b c}]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \([\mathrm{abc}] \mid\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

a, b, c are non-coplanar. \(\therefore \mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}, \mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}\) are also non-coplanar. So, any vector can be expressed as a linear combination of these vectors. Let,…
