If a → · b → = 1 , b → · c → = 2 and c → · a → = 3 , then…

If a·b=1,b·c=2 and c·a=3, then the value of a×b×c   b×c×a   c×b×a is
  1. 0
  2. -6a·b×c
  3. 12c·a×b
  4. -12b·c×a

Solution

We know that

a×b×c, b×c×a and c×a×b are all coplanar as a×b×c+ b×c×a+c×a×b=0.

Also, the scalar triple product of 3 vectors which are coplanar is 0.

Hence,  a×b×c  b×c×a  c×a×b=0
