Question

For non-zero vectors a, b and c the relation a ×b ·c = a b c holds good, if
(a) a ·b =b ·c =0

(b) a ·b = 0=c ·a

(c) a ·b =b ·c =c ·a =0

(d) b ·c =c ·a =0

Solution

c a.b= b.c= c.a=0We havea × b.c = a × b c cosθ= a × b c If θ=0° or 180°, i.e. vectors a × b and c are parallel= ab sin αc= abc If α=90°, i.e. vectors a and b are perpendicular a × b.c = abc If vectors a, b, c are perpendicular to each otherThus, the relation a × b.c=abc holds good if a.b= 0 , b.c=0 and c.a=0.
