  • A
    $\frac{1}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{25}{8}$

The magnitude of a vector which is orthogonal to the vector $\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and is coplanar with the vectors $\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$ and $\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ is

If $\hat{u}$ and $\hat{v}$ are unit vectors and $\theta$ is the acute angle between them,then for what value of $\theta$ is $2\hat{u} \times 3\hat{v}$ a unit vector?

Let $\overrightarrow{a}$ be a non-zero vector parallel to the line of intersection of the two planes passing through the origin and containing the vectors $(\hat{i}+\hat{j}, \hat{i}+\hat{k})$ and $(\hat{i}-\hat{j}, \hat{j}-\hat{k})$ respectively. If $\theta$ is the angle between the vector $\vec{a}$ and the vector $\vec{b}=2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=6$,then the ordered pair $(\theta, |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|)$ is equal to

$\vec{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ are two vectors and $\vec{a}$ is a unit vector such that $\cos (\vec{a}, \vec{b} \times \vec{c})=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$. Then $|\vec{a} \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})|=$

Let $\overrightarrow{a}=a_1 \hat{i}+a_2 \hat{j}+a_3 \hat{k}$.
Assertion $(A)$ : The identity $|\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{i}|^2+|\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{j}|^2+|\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{k}|^2=2|\overrightarrow{a}|^2$ holds for $\overrightarrow{a}$.
Reason $(R)$ : $\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{i}=a_3 \hat{j}-a_2 \hat{k}$,$\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{j}=a_1 \hat{k}-a_3 \hat{i}$,and $\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{k}=a_2 \hat{i}-a_1 \hat{j}$.
