Scalar Triple Product
Statement-I :...
Question
Statement-I :
→
a
×
(
→
b
×
→
c
)
,
→
b
×
(
→
c
×
→
a
)
,
→
c
×
(
→
a
×
→
b
)
are coplanar vectors.
Statement-II: If there exists scalars
l
,
m
,
n
not all zero such that
l
→
a
+
m
→
b
+
n
→
c
=
→
0
, then the vectors
→
a
,
→
b
,
→
c
are coplanar
A
Both I and II are true and II is the correct explanation of I

Solution
The correct option is
C
Both I and II are true and II is the correct explanation of I
When we look at statement 2,
l
¯
¯
¯
a
+
m
¯
¯
b
+
n
¯
¯
c
=
0
implies any of the three vectors
¯
¯
¯
a
,
¯
¯
b
or
¯
¯
c
can be written in terms of the remaining two vectors.
Thus, the vectors become coplanar and hence statement 2 is true.
¯
¯

a

(
¯

¯

=
(
¯
¯

¯

−
(
¯

¯

)
¯
¯
c
¯
¯

(
¯
¯
c

¯
¯
¯
a
)
=
(
¯
¯
b

¯
¯
¯
a
)
¯
¯
c

(
¯
¯
b

¯
¯
c
)
¯
¯
¯
a
¯
¯
c
×
(
¯
¯
¯
a
×
¯
¯
b
)
=
(
¯
¯
c

¯
¯
b
)
¯
¯
¯
a
−
(
¯
¯
c
.
¯
¯
¯
a
)
¯
¯
b
Since dot product is commutative, when we add the three relations, we get
¯
¯
¯
a
×
(
¯
¯
b
×
¯
¯
c
)
+
¯
¯
b
×
(
¯
¯
c
×
¯
¯
¯
a
)
+
¯
¯
c
×
(
¯
¯
¯
a
×
¯
¯
b
)
=
(
¯
¯
¯
a
⋅
¯
¯
c
)
¯
¯
b
−
(
¯
¯
¯
a
⋅
¯
¯
b
)
¯
¯
c
+
(
¯
¯
¯
a
.
¯
¯
b
)
¯
¯
c
−
(
¯
¯
b
.
¯
¯
c
)
¯
¯
¯
a
+
(
¯
¯
b
⋅
¯
¯
c
)
¯
¯
¯
a
−
(
¯
¯
¯
a
⋅
¯
¯
c
)
¯
¯
b
=
0
Therefore the vectors
¯
¯
¯
a
×
(
¯
¯
b
×
¯
¯
c
)
,
¯
¯
b
×
(
¯
¯
c
×
¯
¯
¯
a
)
,
¯
¯
c
×
(
¯
¯
¯
a
×
¯
¯
b
)
are coplanar
and thus it becomes similar to the explanation provided in statement 2.
Hence, both I and II are correct and II is the correct explanation of I.
