Vectors 4 Question 4

4. Let a,b and c be three non-zero vectors such that no two of them are collinear and (a×b)×c=13|b||c|a. If θ is the angle between vectors b and c, then a value of sinθ is

(a) 223

(b) 23

(c) 23

(d) 233

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (a)

Solution:

  1. Given,

(a×b)×c=13|b||c|a

c×(a×b)=13|b||c|a(cb)a+(ca)b=13|b||c|a[13|b||c|+(cb)]a=(ca)b

Since, a and b are not collinear.

cb+13|b||c|=0 and ca=0|b||c|cosθ+13|b||c|=0|b||c|(cosθ+13)=0cosθ+13=0[|b|0,|c|0]cosθ=13sinθ=83=223
