If `vec(a)=(hat(i)-2hat(j)+3hat(k)) and vec(b)=(hat(i)-3hat(k))` then `|vec(b)xx 2vec(a)|=?`

A

`10sqrt(3)`

B

`5sqrt(17)`

C

`4sqrt(19)`

D

`2sqrt(23)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`vec(b)=(hat(i)+0hat(j)-3hat(k))and 2hat(a)=(2hat(i)-4hat(j)+6hat(k))`.
`:. (vec(b)xx2vec(a))=|(hat(i),hat(j) ,hat(k)),(1,0,-3),(2,-4,6)|=(0-12)hat(i)-(6+6)hat(j)+(-4-0)hat(k)`
`=(-12hat(i)-12hat(j)-4hat(k))`.
`:. |vec(b)xx2vec(a)|^(2)={(-12)^(2)+(-12)^(2)+(-4)^(2)}=(144+144+16)=304`.
Hence, `|vec(b)xx2vec(a)|=sqrt(304)=4sqrt(19)`.
