QJEEM22Mafdb4: JEE Main 2022 Physics - Class 11 JEEM22Mafdb4 Solution: Let   ,      and   …

Let   a→=i^−2j^+3k^\overrightarrow a = \widehat i - 2\widehat j + 3\widehat k ,    b→=i^+j^+k^\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k   and    c→\overrightarrow c    be a vector such that    a→+(b→×c→)=0→\overrightarrow a + \left( {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c } \right) = \overrightarrow 0   and   b→ . c→=5\overrightarrow b \,.\,\overrightarrow c = 5 . Then the value of    3(c→ . a→)3\left( {\overrightarrow c \,.\,\overrightarrow a } \right)    is equal to _________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

a⃗⋅b⃗=(i^−2j^+3k^)⋅(i^+j^+k^)=2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=2 ........(i)

Given: a⃗+(b⃗×c⃗)=0\vec{a}+(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})=0

⇒a⃗⋅b⃗=0\Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0 ........(ii)

Equation (i) and equation (ii) are contradicting.
