Let , , and be a vector such that and . Then is equal to __________. [2025]

Question

Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ , $\vec{b} = 3 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$ , $\vec{c} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{d}$ be a vector such that $\vec{b} \times \vec{d} = \vec{c} \times \vec{d}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{d} = 4$ . Then $| (\vec{a} \times \vec{d}) |^{2}$ is equal to __________. [2025]

(128)

Given, $\vec{b} \times \vec{d} = \vec{c} \times \vec{d}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{d} = 4$

$\Rightarrow \vec{d} = λ (\vec{b} - \vec{c}) = λ (\hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ $∵ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{d} = 4 \Rightarrow λ = - 2$

Also, $| (\vec{a} \times \vec{d}) |^{2}$

$\Rightarrow | \vec{a} \times \vec{d} |^{2} = 6 \times 24 - 16 = 128$ .

Solution

Q. Let a→=i^+2j^+k^, b→=3i^–3j^+3k^, c→=2i^–j^+2k^ and d→ be a vector such that b→×d→=c→×d→ and a→·d→=4. Then |(a→×d→)|2 is equal to __________. [2025]

Ans. (128) Given, b→×d→=c→×d→ and a→·d→=4 ⇒ d→=λ(b→–c→)=λ(i^–2j^+k^) ∵ a→·d→=4 ⇒ λ=–2 Also, |a→×d→|2+|a→·d→|2=|a→|2|d→|2 ⇒ |a→×d→|2=6×24–16=128.
