Three vectors \(\mathbf{A}=a \mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k} ; \mathbf{B}=\mathbf{i}+b \mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\)
and \(\mathbf{C}=\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+c \mathbf{k}\) are mutually perpendicular (i, \(\mathbf{j}\) and \(\mathbf{k}\) are unit vectors along \(X, Y\) and \(Z\) axes respectively). The respective values of \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are

  1. A 0,0,0
  2. B \(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C 1,-1,1
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Three vectors are mutually perpendicular, so the scalar or dot product of two vectors will zero. So, \(\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B}=0, \mathbf{B} \mathbf{C}=0,\) So,…
