If    a → = 2 i ^ + j ^ + 3 k ^ ,    b → = 3 i ^ + 3 j ^ + k ^   …

If   a=2i^+j^+3k^,  b=3i^+3j^+k^   and c=c1i^+c2j^+c3k^ are coplanar vectors and a·c=5,bc, then 122c1+c2+c3 is equal to ______.

Solution

As the given vectors are coplanar, so 213331c1c2c3=0

8c1-7c2-3c3=0   ...i

Also, a·c=52c1+c2+3c3=5   ...ii

and b·c=03c1+3c2+c3=0   ...iii

Solving the above three equations using Cramer's rule, we get,

=8-7-3213331=-122

1=0-7-3513031=-10

2=80-3253301=85

3=8-70215330=-225

Hence, 122c1+c2+c3=12210122-85122+225122=150
