Question

Consider the vector equation for x, y given by x+x×y=a and y+x×y=b where a, b are fixed vectors. If solution for x is x=la+mb+n(a×b) then identify the correct statement? (|a|=a,|b|=b)

Solution

The correct options are
B If a=12=b,a.b=0 then l+3mn=1
D If a=1,b=2 and a.b=1 then l3m3n=1
x=la+mb+n(a×b)(1)

y=(l1)a+(m+1)b+n(a×b)(2)

Putting (1) and (2) in x+x×y=a

(l+m+n)(a×b)+[n(a.b|b|2)+l1]a+[n(a.b|a|2)+m]b=0

l+m+n=0

n(a.b|b|2)+l=1

n(a.b|a|)+m=0
