Question

If $\to u, \to v, \to w$ are non-coplanar vectors and $p, q$ are real numbers, then the equality $[\begin{matrix} 3 \to u & p \to v & p \to w \end{matrix}] - [\begin{matrix} p \to v & q \to w & \to u \end{matrix}] - [\begin{matrix} 2 \to w & q \to v & q \to u \end{matrix}] = 0$ holds for

Solution

The correct option is D exactly one value of $(p, q)$
Given:
$[\begin{matrix} 3 \to u & p \to v & p \to w \end{matrix}] - [\begin{matrix} p \to v & q \to w & \to u \end{matrix}] - [\begin{matrix} 2 \to w & q \to v & q \to u \end{matrix}] = 0$
$\Rightarrow 3 p^{2} [\begin{matrix} \to u & \to v & \to w \end{matrix}] - p q [\begin{matrix} \to v & \to w & \to u \end{matrix}] - 2 q^{2} [\begin{matrix} \to w & \to v & \to u \end{matrix}] = 0$
$\Rightarrow (3 p^{2} - p q + 2 q^{2}) [\begin{matrix} \to u & \to v & \to w \end{matrix}] = 0$
As $[\begin{matrix} \to u & \to v & \to w \end{matrix}] \neq 0$
$∴ (3 p^{2} - p q + 2 q^{2}) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2 p^{2} + p^{2} - p q + \frac{q^{2}}{4} + \frac{7 q^{2}}{4} = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2 p^{2} + {(p - \frac{q}{2})}^{2} + \frac{7 q^{2}}{4} = 0$
$\Rightarrow p = 0, q = 0, p = \frac{q}{2}$
only possible when $p = q = 0$
