Question

If $\to a, \to b$ are two vectors such that $| \to a \times \to b | = 2,$ then the value of $[\begin{matrix} \to a & \to b & \to a \times \to b \end{matrix}]$ is

Open in App

Solution

We know
$[\begin{matrix} \to P & \to Q & \to R \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} \to Q & \to R & \to P \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} \to R & \to P & \to Q \end{matrix}]$
Therefore,
$[\begin{matrix} \to a & \to b & \to a \times \to b \end{matrix}] = (\to a \times \to b) \cdot (\to a \times \to b) = | \to a \times \to b |^{2} = 4$
