Question

Let $\vec{a} = - 5 \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3 \hat{k}$ , $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c} = (((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times \hat{i}) \times \hat{i}) \times \hat{i}$ . Then $\vec{c} \cdot (- \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ is equal to: [2024]

We have, $\vec{a} = - 5 \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3 \hat{k}$ , $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}$

$∴ (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times \hat{i} = (\vec{a} \cdot \hat{i}) \vec{b} - (\vec{b} \cdot \hat{i}) \vec{a} = - 5 \vec{b} - \vec{a}$

Now, $((- 5 \vec{b} - \vec{a}) \times \hat{i}) \times \hat{i} = (11 \hat{k} - 23 \hat{j}) \times \hat{i} = 11 \hat{j} - 23 \hat{k}$

$∴ \vec{c} \cdot (- \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) = 11 - 23 = - 12$ .

Solution

Q.
