If `veca ,vecb and vecc` are three mutually orthogonal unit vectors , then the triple product `[(veca+vecb+vecc,veca+vecb, vecb +vecc)]` equals

A

0

B

1 or -1

C

1

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Here `[veca vecb vecb] = +- 1`
`[veca +vecb +vecc veca +vecb vecb +vecc]`
` (veca + vecb +vecc) xx (veca +vecb) . (vecb +vecc)`
` vecc xx (veca +vecb) . (vecb +vecc)`
` (vecc xx veca +vecc xx vecb). (vecb +vecc)`
` = vecc xx veca .vecb = [veca vecb vecc] +- 1`
