Let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}$ be three mutually perpendicular vectors of the same magnitude and equally inclined at an angle $\theta$ , with the vector $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}$ . Then $36 \cos ^{2} 2 \theta$ is equal to ________.

Given, $|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=|\vec{c}|$

and these are mutually perpendicular,

So, $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}=\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=0$

Angle of $\vec{a}$ with $(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c})=\theta$

$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \quad \vec{a} \cdot(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c})=|\vec{a}||\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}| \cdot \cos \theta \\ &\Rightarrow \quad \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}+\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=|\vec{a}||\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}| \cos \theta \\ &\Rightarrow \quad|\vec{a}|^{2}+0+0=|\vec{a}||\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}| \cos \theta \\ &\Rightarrow \quad \frac{|\vec{a}|}{|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|}=\cos \theta\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; ...........(i) \end{aligned}$

Now,

$\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|^{2}=(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \cdot(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \\ &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|^{2}=|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+|\vec{c}|^{2}+2(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}+\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}) \\ \Rightarrow &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|^{2}=3|\vec{a}|^{2}+2(0) \\ \Rightarrow &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|=\sqrt{3}|\vec{a}| \end{aligned}$

Using this in (i)

$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ &\Rightarrow \quad \cos 2 \theta=2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1=\frac{2}{3}-1=-\frac{1}{3} . \\ &\Rightarrow \quad 36 \cos ^{2} 2 \theta=\quad 36 \cdot\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)=4 . \end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is 4

Let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ . Let a vector $\vec{v}$ be in the plane containing $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ . If $\vec{v}$ is perpendicular to the vector $3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and its projection on $\vec{a}$ is 19 units, then $|2 \vec{v}|^{2}$ is equal to___________

$Let\, \vec{\vartheta }= x\vec{a}+y\vec{b}$
$\vec{\vartheta }\cdot \left ( 3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k} \right )= 0$
$And\: \vec{\vartheta }\cdot \hat{a}= 19$
$Let\,\: 3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k}= \vec{c}$

$Let\,\: \vec{\vartheta } = \lambda \vec{c}\times \left ( \vec{a}\times \vec{b} \right )$
(a vector in the plane of $\vec{a}$ & $\vec{b}$ and perpendicular to $\vec{c}$ )
$\vec{c}\times \left ( \vec{a}\times \vec{b} \right )= 14\hat{i}-12\hat{j}+18\hat{k}$
$\vec{\vartheta }= \lambda\left ( 14\hat{i}-12\hat{j}+18\hat{k} \right )$
$Also\,\; \vec{\vartheta }\cdot \hat{a}= 19$
$\Rightarrow \lambda \left ( 14\hat{i}-12\hat{j}+18\hat{k} \right )\cdot \frac{\left ( 2\hat{i} -\hat{j}+2\hat{k}\right )}{\sqrt{2^{2}+1^{1}+2^{2}}}= 19$
$\Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{19\times 3}{28+12+36}= \frac{19\times 3}{76}= \frac{3}{4}$
$so\: \left | 2\vartheta ^{2} \right |= \left | 2\times \frac{3}{4}\left ( 14\hat{i}-12\hat{j}+18\hat{k} \right ) \right |^{2}$
$= 9\left ( 7^{2}+6^{2}+9^{2} \right )$
$= 1494$

Let $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ be three vectors mutually perpendicular to each other and have same magnitude. If a vector $\vec{r}$ satisfies
$\vec{a} \times\{(\vec{r}-\vec{b}) \times \vec{a}\}+\vec{b} \times\{(\vec{r}-\vec{c}) \times \vec{b}\}+\vec{c} \times\{(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \times \vec{c}\}=\overrightarrow{0},$ then $\vec{r}$ is equal to :
Option: 1 $\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{3}(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \\ \end{aligned}$
Option: 2 $\frac{1}{3}(2 \vec{a}+\vec{b}-\vec{c}) \\$
Option: 3 $\frac{1}{2}(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \\$
Option: 4 $\frac{1}{2}(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+2 \vec{c})$

$|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=|\vec{c}|\: and \: \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}=\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=0\\$

$Let\: \vec{r}= x\vec{a}+y \vec{b}+z \vec{c} \\$

$where \:\: \vec{r}\cdot \vec{a}=x|\vec{a}|^{2}, \vec{r} \cdot \vec{b}=y|\vec{b}|^{2}, \vec{r} \cdot \vec{c}=z|\vec{c}|^{2}$

Give expression is

$(\vec{a} \times(\vec{r} \times \vec{a}))-(\vec{a} \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{a}))+\vec{b} \times(\vec{r} \times \vec{b})-\vec{b} \times(\vec{c} \times \vec{b})+\\$
$\vec{c} \times(\vec{r} \times \vec{c})-(\vec{c} \times(\vec{a}\times \vec{c))=0} \\$

$\Rightarrow(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{r}) \vec{a}-|\vec{a}|^{2} \vec{r}-(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{a}+|\vec{a}|^{2} \vec{b}+(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{r}) \vec{b}-|\vec{b}|^{2} \vec{r}-\\$
$(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{b}+|\vec{b}|^{2}\vec{c}+(\vec{c}\cdot \vec{r})\vec{c}-|\vec{c}|^{2}\vec{r}-(\vec{c}\cdot \vec{a})\vec{a}+|\vec{c}|^{2}\vec{a}=0\\$

$\Rightarrow x|\vec{a}|^{2}\vec{a}+y|\vec{b}|^{2}\vec{b}+z|\vec{c}|^{2}\vec{c}-\vec{r}(|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+|\vec{c}|^{2})+\\$
$|\vec{a}|^{2}\vec{b}+|\vec{b}|^{2}\vec{c}+|\vec{c}|^{2}\vec{a}=0\\$

$\Rightarrow |\vec{a}|^{2}(x\vec{a}+y\vec{b}+z\vec{c})-3|\vec{a}|^{2}\vec{r}+|\vec{a}|^{2}(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c})=0\\$

$\Rightarrow 3\vec{r}-\vec{r}=\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}\\$

$\Rightarrow \vec{r}=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c} \right )$

Option: 1 $8$
Option: 2 $4$
Option: 3 $6$
Option: 4 $5$

$\left | \frac{\vec{a}}{8} \right |= 1\Rightarrow \left | \vec{a} \right |= 8$
$\left | 2\vec{a}+3\vec{b} \right |^{2}= \left | 3\vec{a}+\vec{b} \right |^{2}$
$\Rightarrow 4\left | \vec{a} \right |^{2}+9\left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}+ 12 \, \vec{a}\cdot \; \vec{b}= 9\left | \vec{a} \right |^{2}+\left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}+6\, \vec{a}\,\;\cdot \vec{b}$

$\Rightarrow 5\times 8^{2}-8\left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}-6\times 8\times \left | \vec{b} \right |\times \frac{1}{2}= 0$
$\Rightarrow \left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}+3 \left | \vec{b} \right |-40= 0$
$\Rightarrow \left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}+8 \left | \vec{b} \right |-5\left | \vec{b} \right |-40= 0$
$\Rightarrow \left | \vec{b} \right |^{2}= -8 \times \left ( Not\: possible \right )$

The angle between the straight lines, whose direction cosines are given by the equations $2 l+2 m-n=0$ and $m n+n l+l m=0$ , is :
Option: 1 $\pi-\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)$
Option: 2 $\frac{\pi}{2}$
Option: 3 $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$
Option: 4 $\frac{\pi}{3}$

$2l+2m-n= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow n= 2l+2m\\$ ...............(1)

$mn+nl+lm= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow n\left ( m+l \right )+lm= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow 2\left ( l+m \right )\left ( l+m \right )+lm= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow 2l^{2}+4ml+2m^{2}+lm= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow 2l\left ( l+2m \right )+m\left ( l+2m \right )= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow \left ( 2l+m \right )\left ( l+2m \right )= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow m= -2l\: or\: l= -2m\\$ ..........(2)

From (1) and (2)

$n= 2l+2m\\$

$= 2l-4l= -2l\: or\: -4m+2m= -2m\\$

So $m= -2l= n\:\: OR\: \: l= -2m= n\\$

Also $l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}= 1\\$

$\Rightarrow l^{2}+4l^{2}+4l^{2}-1\Rightarrow l= \pm \frac{1}{3}\\$

$OR\: \: 4m^{2}+m^{2}+4m^{2}= 1\Rightarrow m= \frac{1}{3}\\$

So $L_{1}:\pm \left ( \frac{1}{3} ,\frac{-2}{3},\frac{-2}{3}\right )\: L_{2}:\pm \left ( \frac{-2}{3},\frac{1}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}\right )\\$

Angle $\cos\theta= \left | l_{1}l_{2}+m_{1}m_{2}+n_{1}n_{2} \right |\\$

$= \left | \frac{-2}{9}-\frac{2}{9}+\frac{4}{9} \right |= 0\\$

$\Rightarrow \theta= 90^{\circ}= \frac{\pi}{2}$

$\left | \vec{b}\times \vec{c} \right |^{2}= 75$
$\Rightarrow 4\beta ^{2}+36\beta +81+\beta ^{2}-6\beta +9+25= 75$

If the projection of the vector $\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ on the sum of the two vectors $2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-5\hat{k}$ and $-\lambda \hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$ is 1, then $\lambda$ is equal to ________.

Sum of vectors ( $\vec{b}$ ) is
$\left ( 2-\lambda \right )i+6j-2k$

Projection of $\vec{a}= i+2j+k$ on $\vec{b}$ is
$\Rightarrow \frac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}}{\left | \vec{b} \right |}= 1$
$\Rightarrow \left ( 2-\lambda \right )+12-2= \sqrt{\left ( 2-\lambda \right )^{2}+36+4}$
$\Rightarrow \left ( 12-\lambda \right )^{2}= \left ( 2-\lambda \right )^{2}+40$
$\Rightarrow \lambda ^{2}+144-24\lambda = \lambda ^{2}+4-4\lambda +40$
$\Rightarrow \lambda = 5$
