Solution

The correct option is D $\to b$ and $\to c$ are mutually perpendicular.
We have,
$\to a = \frac{1}{7} (3^i + 2^j + 6^k)$
$\to b = \frac{1}{7} (3^i - 6^j + 2^k)$
$\to c = \frac{1}{7} (6^i + 2^j - 3^k)$
Then,
$\to a . \to b = \frac{1}{7} (3^i + 2^j + 6^k) . \frac{1}{7} (3^i - 6^j + 2^k)$
$= \frac{1}{49} (9 - 12 + 12) \neq 0$
Similarly finding, $\to b . \to c$
$\to b . \to c = 0$
$∴ \to b, \to c$ are mutually perpendicular.

Which of the following is correct for the vectors→a=17(3^i+2^j+6^k),→b=17(3^i−6^j+2^k) and →c=17(6^i+2^j−3^k) ?

The correct option is D →b and →c are mutually perpendicular.We have, →a=17(3^i+2^j+6^k) →b=17(3^i−6^j+2^k) →c=17(6^i+2^j−3^k) Then, →a.→b=17(3^i+2^j+6^k).17(3^i−6^j+2^k) =149(9−12+12)≠0 Similarly finding, →b.→c →b.→c=0 ∴→b,→c are mutually perpendicular.
