If veca,vecb and vecc are three mutually...

If `veca,vecb and vecc` are three mutually perpendicular vectors, then the vector which is equally inclined to these vectors is

A

`veca+vecb+vecc`

B

`veca/|veca|+vecb/|vecb|+vecc/|vecc|`

C

`veca/|veca|^(2)+vecb/|vecb|^(2)+vecc/|vecc|^(2)`

D

`|veca|veca-|vecb|vecb+|vecc|vecc`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Let `vecalpha= veca/|veca|+vecb/|vecb|+vecc/|vecc|`
since, `veca , vecb and vecc` ar mutually perpendicular vectors, if `vecalpha` makes angles `theta, phi,psi" with " veca,vecb and vecc,` respectively, then
`vecalpha.veca= (veca.veca)/|veca|`
`or |vecalpha|.|veca|costheta = |veca|`
`or cos theta= 1/|vecalpha|`
similarly, `cos theta = 1/|vecalpha| . cos psi = 1/|vecalpha|`
`theta= phi = psi`
