The vectors $\vec{a}\; and \; \vec{b}$ are not perpendicular and $\vec{c}\; and \; \vec{d}$ are two vectors satisfying : $\vec{b}\; \times \; \vec{c}=\vec{b}\; \times \; \vec{d}$ and $\vec{a}\cdot \vec{d}=0$ . Then the vector $\vec{d}$ is equal to

Option 1)
$\vec{b}+\left ( \frac{\vec{b}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{c}$

Option 2)
$\vec{c}-\left ( \frac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{b}$

Option 3)
$\vec{b}-\left ( \frac{\vec{b}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{c}$

Option 4)
$\vec{c}+\left ( \frac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{b}$

As we learnt in

Vector Triple Product (VTP) -

$\vec{a}\times \left ( \vec{b} \times \vec{c}\right )= \left ( \vec{a}.\vec{c} \right )\vec{b}-\left ( \vec{a}.\vec{b}\right )\vec{c}$

$\left ( \vec{a}\times \vec{b} \right )\times \vec{c}= \left ( \vec{a}.\vec{c} \right )\vec{b}-\left ( \vec{b}.\vec{c}\right )\vec{a}$

- wherein

$\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are three vectors.

$\vec{b}\times \vec{d}\:=\:\vec{b}\times\vec{c}$

$(\vec{b}\times \vec{d})\times \vec{a}\:\:=(\vec{b}\times \vec{c})\times \vec{a}$

$(\vec{a}.\vec{b})\:\: \vec{d} - 0(\vec{b})=(\vec{a}.\vec{b})\vec{c}-(\vec{a}.\vec{c})\vec{b}$

$\\\vec{d}\:=\:\vec{c}-(\frac{\vec{a}.\vec{c}}{\vec{a}.\vec{b}})\vec{b}$

Option 1)

$\vec{b}+\left ( \frac{\vec{b}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{c}$

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

$\vec{c}-\left ( \frac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{b}$

This option is correct.

Option 3)

$\vec{b}-\left ( \frac{\vec{b}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{c}$

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

$\vec{c}+\left ( \frac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{c}}{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}} \right )\vec{b}$

This option is incorrect.
