Question

Let a=α^i+2^j3^k,b=^i+2α^j2^k and c=2^iα^j+^k and {(a×b)×(b×c)}×(c×a)=0, then the value of 6α is

Solution

Given :
{(a×b)×(b×c)}×(c×a)=0{[a b c]b[a b b]c}×(c×a)=0[a b c]((ab)c(bc)a)=0[a b b]=0[a b c]=0 OR ab=bc=0∣ ∣α2312α22α1∣ ∣=0
OR α+4α+6=22α22=01015α=0
OR α=0=65 (contradictory,not possible)
α=1015=23
