Let a → = i ^ + j ^ - k ^ and c → = 2 i ^ - 3 j ^ + 2 k ^ . Then the number of vectors b →…

Let a=i^+j^-k^ and c=2i^-3j^+2k^. Then the number of vectors b such that b×c=a and b1,2,,10 is
  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 3

Solution

Given, a=i+j-k and c=2i-3j+2k

b×c=a and b1,210

 b×c=a

 a is perpendicular to b as well as a is perpendicular to c , so a·c=0 as they are perpendicular.

Now checking a·c=2-3-2=-30

This b×c=a is not possible.

So, number of vectors b=0
