If `vecu, vecv, vecw` are three non-coplanar vectors, the `(vecu+vecv-vecw).(vecu-vecv)xx(vecv-vecw)` equals

A

`vecu.(vecvxxvecw)`

B

`vecu.(vecwxxvecv)`

C

`3vecu.(veccxxvecw)`

D

0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We have
`(vecu+vecv-vecw).(vecu-vecv)xx(vecv-vecw)`
`=[(vecu+vecv-vecw,vecu-vecv,vecv-vecw)]`
`=[(vecu+vecv-vecw,vecu-vecv+0vecw,0vecu+vecv-vecw)]`
`=|(1,1,-1),(1,-1,0),(0,1,-1)|[(vecu, vecv, vecw)]`
`=[(vecu, vecv, vecw)]=vecu.(vecvxxvecw)`
