Question

Consider three vectors v1,v2 and v3 such that
v1=v2v3 where v1=(a׈i)׈i,
v2=(a׈j)׈j & v3=(a׈k)׈k.
(a is non zero vector), then

Solution

The correct option is C a.ˆj=0
Let a=ai+bj+ck
Then
v1=(a×i)×i
=aai ...(i)

Similarly
v2=abj ...(ii)
v3=ack ...(iii)

v1=v2v3
aai=bj+ck
(ai+bj+ck)ai=bj+ck
bj+ck=bj+ck
By comparing coefficients, we get
b=b
b=0
Hence
a=ai+ck
Therefore
a.j=0
