Question

If $\to a, \to b, \to c$ are unit vectors such that $\to a . \to b = 0$ and $(\to a - \to c) . (\to b + \to c) = 0$ and $\to c = λ \to a + μ \to b + ω (\to a \times \to b)$ for some scalars $λ, μ, ω$ , then

μ = λ + 1

Solution

The correct options are
C $λ^{2} + μ^{2} + ω^{2} = 1$
D $λ = μ + 1$
$\to a . \to b = 0 \Rightarrow \to a \times \to b$ is a unit vector.

$\to c . \to a = λ$ , $\to c . \to b = μ$

$\to c . (\to a \times \to b) = ω$

$(\to a - \to c) . (\to b + \to c) = 0 \Rightarrow λ - μ - 1 = 0$

$λ = μ + 1$

$| \to c |^{2} = λ^{2} | \to a |^{2} + μ^{2} | \to b |^{2} + w^{2} | \to a \times \to b |^{2}$

$(\to a, \to b, \to a \times \to b are orthogonal pairs of unit vectors)$

$1 = λ^{2} + μ^{2} + w^{2}$

\to a \cdot \to b = 0

(\to a - \to c) \cdot (\to b + \to c) = 0

and

\to c = λ \to a + μ \to b + ω (\to a \times \to b)

, where

are scalars then?

If $\to a, \to b, \to c$ are unit vectors such that $\to a . \to b = 0, (\to a - \to b) . (\to b + \to c) = 0$ and $\to c = λ \to a + μ \to b + ω (\to a \times \to b),$ where $λ, μ, ω$ are scalars then.

Nonzero vectors $\to a, \to b, \to c$ satisfy $\to a . \to b$ =0, $(\to b - \to a) . (\to b + \to c)$ = 0 and 2 $| \to b + \to c | = | \to b - \to a |$ .
