Question

A vector d is equally inclined to three vectors a=^i^j+^k, b=2^i+^j and c=3^j2^k. Let x,y,z be three vectors in the plane of a,b;b,c;c,a, respectively. If r=3x+4y+5z, then the value of d.r is

Open in App
Solution

a=^i^j+^k,
b=2^i+^j
and c=3^j2^k
Since [abc]=∣ ∣111210032∣ ∣=0
a,b and c are coplanar vectors.
Further, since d is equally inclined to a,b and c, we have
d.a=d.b=d.c=0
d.x=d.y=d.z=0
d.r=0
