Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter 25 Scalar triple product exercise multiple choice question 12 maths

Answers (1)

Answer:

 \overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}=0,\overrightarrow{b}.\overrightarrow{c}=0,\overrightarrow{c}.\overrightarrow{a}=0

Hint:

 Use scalar triple product

Given:

(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}).\overrightarrow{c}=\left | \overrightarrow{a} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{b} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{c} \right |

For

(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}).\overrightarrow{c}=\left | \overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{c} \right |cos\theta

where,

\theta is angle between cross product of

(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}) \text { and }\overrightarrow{c}

Similarly,

(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}) .\overrightarrow{c}=\left ( \left | \overrightarrow{a} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{b} \right |sin\beta \right ).\overrightarrow{c}

where

\beta is angle between

\overrightarrow{a} \text { and } \overrightarrow{b}

Thus, for all

\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}=0,\overrightarrow{b}.\overrightarrow{c}=0,\overrightarrow{c}.\overrightarrow{a}=0
