Volume of the parallelopiped having vertices at `O equiv (0, 0, 0), A equiv (2, -2, 1), B equiv (5, -4, 4)` and `C equiv (1, -2, 4)` is

A

5 cu units

B

10 cu units

C

15 cu units

D

20 cu units

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Given, `OA=2 hati-2hatj+hatk`
`OB=5hati-4hatj+4hatk` and `OC=hati-2hatj+4hatk`
Volume of parallelopiped`=["OA OB OC"]`
`=|{:(2,-2,1),(5,-4,4),(1,-2,4):}|=2(-16+8)+2(20-4)+1(-10+4)`
`=-16+32-6=10` cu units.
