Solution
The correct option is
C
−
3
^
i
+
6
^
j
+
6
^
k
Let
a
=
4
^
i
−
^
j
+
3
^
k
,
b
=
−
2
^
i
+
^
j
−
2
^
k
and
c
=
x
^
i
+
y
^
j
+
z
^
k
Given,
a
⋅
c
=
0
i.e.,
4
x
−
y
+
3
x
=
0
......(i)
and
b
⋅
c
=
0
i.e.
−
2
x
+
y
−
2
z
=
0
......(ii)
Also,
|
c
|
=
9
i.e.
x
2
+
y
2
+
z
2
=
81
.......(iii)
Now, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
2
x
+
z
=
0
⇒
z
=
−
2
x
On putting this value in Eq. (iii), we get
x
2
+
y
2
+
4
x
2
=
81
⇒
5
x
2
+
y
2
=
81
......(iv)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by
2
and Eq. (ii) by
3
and then adding, we get
8
x
−
3
y
+
6
z
=
0
−
6
x
+
3
y
−
6
z
=
0
–
–––––––––––––––––––
–
2
x
+
y
=
0
⇒
y
=
−
2
x
On putting this value in Eq. (iv), we get
5
x
2
+
4
x
2
=
81
⇒
9
x
2
=
81
⇒
x
2
=

⇒
x
=
±

∴
y
=

and
z
=
