The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze both statements provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 We need to find a unit vector orthogonal to the vector \( \mathbf{A} = 5\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} \) that is also coplanar with the vectors \( \mathbf{B} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{C} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \). #### Step 1.1: Find the orthogonal vector A vector \( \mathbf{D} \) is orthogonal to \( \mathbf{A} \) if: \[ \mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{D} = 0 \] Assuming \( \mathbf{D} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k} \), we have: \[ 5x + 2y + 6z = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] #### Step 1.2: Coplanarity condition The vectors \( \mathbf{B} \), \( \mathbf{C} \), and \( \mathbf{D} \) are coplanar if: \[ \mathbf{D} = \lambda \mathbf{B} + \mu \mathbf{C} \] Substituting the vectors: \[ \mathbf{D} = \lambda(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}) \] This gives: \[ \mathbf{D} = (2\lambda + \mu)\hat{i} + (\lambda - \mu)\hat{j} + (\lambda + \mu)\hat{k} \] #### Step 1.3: Equate components From the expression for \( \mathbf{D} \), we can equate components with \( x, y, z \): - \( x = 2\lambda + \mu \) (2) - \( y = \lambda - \mu \) (3) - \( z = \lambda + \mu \) (4) #### Step 1.4: Substitute into equation (1) Substituting equations (2), (3), and (4) into equation (1): \[ 5(2\lambda + \mu) + 2(\lambda - \mu) + 6(\lambda + \mu) = 0 \] Expanding this: \[ 10\lambda + 5\mu + 2\lambda - 2\mu + 6\lambda + 6\mu = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ (10 + 2 + 6)\lambda + (5 - 2 + 6)\mu = 0 \] \[ 18\lambda + 9\mu = 0 \] This implies: \[ 2\lambda + \mu = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \mu = -2\lambda \] #### Step 1.5: Substitute back to find \( \mathbf{D} \) Substituting \( \mu = -2\lambda \) back into equations (2), (3), and (4): - From (2): \( x = 2\lambda - 2\lambda = 0 \) - From (3): \( y = \lambda - (-2\lambda) = 3\lambda \) - From (4): \( z = \lambda - 2\lambda = -\lambda \) Thus, \( \mathbf{D} = 0\hat{i} + 3\lambda\hat{j} - \lambda\hat{k} \). #### Step 1.6: Normalize to find the unit vector The unit vector \( \mathbf{D} \) can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{D} = 3\hat{j} - \hat{k} \] The magnitude is: \[ |\mathbf{D}| = \sqrt{0^2 + 3^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 1} = \sqrt{10} \] Thus, the unit vector is: \[ \hat{D} = \frac{3\hat{j} - \hat{k}}{\sqrt{10}} \] ### Conclusion for Statement 1 Statement 1 is true: The unit vector orthogonal to \( 5\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} \) and coplanar with the other two vectors is indeed \( \frac{3\hat{j} - \hat{k}}{\sqrt{10}} \). ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 Statement 2 states that if \( \bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c} \) represent vectors along the edges of a parallelepiped, then \( |\bar{a} \cdot (\bar{b} \times \bar{c})| \) represents the volume. #### Step 2.1: Understanding the volume of a parallelepiped The volume \( V \) of a parallelepiped formed by vectors \( \bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c} \) is given by the scalar triple product: \[ V = |\bar{a} \cdot (\bar{b} \times \bar{c})| \] This is a well-known result in vector calculus. ### Conclusion for Statement 2 Statement 2 is also true: The expression \( |\bar{a} \cdot (\bar{b} \times \bar{c})| \) indeed represents the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true.
