Q.

Let the vectors a,b,c represent three coterminous edges of a parallelepiped of volume V. Then the volume of the parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by a,b+c and a+2b+3c is equal to         [2023]

1 V  
2 3V  
3 2V  
4 6V  

Ans.

(1)

We have, 

Volume of parallelepiped=[abc]=V                 ...(i)

New volume of parallelepiped =[ab+ca+2b+3c]

=|100011123|[abc]={1(3-2)-0+0}[abc]

=[abc]=V                    (Using (i))
