If ` vec a , vec b ,` and `vec c` are unit vectors such that ` vec a+ vec b+ vec c=0,` then find the value of ` vec a.vec b+ vec b.vec c+ vecc.vec adot`

A

`(1)/(2)`

B

`(-1)/(2)`

C

`(3)/(2)`

D

`(-3)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c)).(vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c))=0`
`rArr|vec(a)|^(2)+|vec(b)|^(2)+|vec(c)|^(2)+2(vec(a).vec(b)+vec(b).vec(c)+vec(c).vec(a))=0`
`rArr(vec(a).vec(b)+vec(b).vec(c)+vec(c).vec(a))=(-3)/(2)" " [:'|vec(a)|=|vec(b)|=|vec(c)|=1]`.
