`veca ,vecb and vecc` are unimdular and coplanar. A unit vector `vecd` is perpendicualt to them , `(veca xx vecb) xx (vecc xx vecd) = 1/6 hati - 1/3 hatj + 1/3 hatk` , and the angle between `veca and vecb is 30^(@)` then `vecc` is

A

`(hati-2 hatj + 2 hatk)//3`

B

`(-hati +2hatj - 2 hatk)//3`

C

`(-hati +2hatj - hatk)//3`

D

`(-2hati -2hatj + hatk)//3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a,b

Given `1/6hati -1/3 hatj + 1/3hatk = (veca xx vecb) xx (veccxxvecd)`
`[ veca vecb vecd]vecc - [veca vecb vecc] vecd`
`[veca vecb vecd]vecc`
`[ veca, vecb and vecc` are coplanar]
`[veca vecb vecd] = (veca xx vecb).vecd`
` |veca xx vecb| |vecd| cos theta`
`(therefore vecd bot veca,vecd,bot vecb, therefore vecd||vecaxxvecb)`
`ab sin 30^(@) .1. (+-1) ( theta = 0 or pi) `
`1.1. 1/2 .1(+-1)= +- 1/2`
form (i) m we have
`vecc= +- (1/3 hati -2/3hatj +2/3hatk) =+- (hati -2hatj + 2hatk)/3`
