Question

Consider r=a^i+b^j+c^k. If α, β and γ be the projection of r along 2^i+^j5, 2^i+^j5 and ^k respectively such that |α|=|β|=|γ| and |r|=1, the number of such ordered triplets (a,b,c) is less than

Solution

The correct options are
B 10
C 12
D 15
r = a^i+b^j+c^k
α = r(2^i+^j)5 =2a+b5
β = 2a+b5,γ=c
| α | = | β | = | γ |
|2a+b|=|2a+b|=|5c|

a=±53b=0c=±23⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪4 triplets

c=±16b=±56a=0⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪4 triplets

So, 8 possible triplets.
