Solution
The correct option is B→q−(→q.→s→p.→s)→p Let r,p,q and s be vectors. It is given that r×p=q×p r×p−(q×p)=0 (r−q)×p=0 Hence r−q is a vector parallel to vector p. Hence r=q+μp ...(i) It is given that r.s=0. Hence r vector is perpendicular to s vector. Hence (q+μp).s=0 ...(from i) q.s+μ(p.s)=0 μ(p.s)=−q.s μ=−q.sp.s Hence r=q−q.sp.sp
