RBSE Maths Chapter 13: Exercise 13.2 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: If the magnitude of two vectors is 4 and 5, then find their scalar product if the angle between the two vectors is:

(i) 60° (ii) 90°

Solution:

If

(i) Given,

θ = 60°,

Therefore, the scalar product of the vectors = 10

(ii) θ = 90°,

Therefore, the scalar product of the vectors = 0

Question 2: Find the value of

Solution:

Given,

This can be written as

= (2 × 3) + [5 × (-2)] + (0 × 0)

= 6 + (-10) + 0

= 6 – 10

= -4

Question 3: For any vector

Solution:

Let

Substituting (ii), (iii), and (iv) in (i),

Question 6: If

and

Solution:

Given,

and

= 2(4 -1) + 3(2 + 3) + 4(-1 – 6)

= 2(3) + 3(5) + 4(-7)

= 6 + 15 – 28

= -7
