Let a → = 2 i ^ + j ^ - 2 k ^ and b → = i ^ + j ^ . If c → is a vector such that a →…

Let a=2i^+j^-2k^ and b=i^+j^. If c is a vector such that a·c=|c|,|c-a|=22 and the angle between a×b and c is π6, then the value of a×b×c is:
  1. 23
  2. 4
  3. 3
  4. 32

Solution

We have,

a=3=a

a·c=c=c

Now,

c-a=22

 c-a2=8

 c2+a2-2c·a=8

 c2+9-2c=8

  c2-2c+1=0

 c-12=0

  c=1=c

Now,

a×b=i^j^k^21-2110

  a×b=2i^-2j^+k^

  a×b=22+-22+12=3

Now,

a×b×c=a×bcsinπ6

a×b×c=3·1·12=32
