Consider the vectors
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}})\). What is the value of \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}} .(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}) ?\)

  1. A 1
  2. B 0
  3. C \(3 \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(18 \sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & 2\end{array}\right|=1(-2+2)-1(4-1)-1(-4+1)=-3+3=0\)
