Solution

The correct option is B α=π2,β=1
We have, a×(b×c)+(a.b)b=(42βsinα)b+(β21)c ...(1)
and (c.c)a=c ...(2)
where b and c are non-collienear vectors and α,β are scalars
From (2), (c.c)a.c=c.ca.c=1 ...(3)
From (1), we get
(a.c)b(a.b)c+(a.b)b=(42βsinα)b+(β21)c{1+(a.b)}b(a.b)c=(42βsinα)b+(β21)c
1+(a.b)=42βsinα ...(4)
and a.b=(β21) ...(5)
sinα=1+(1β)2β=1,sinα=1
α=π2+2nπ,nI
