If vecb and vecc are unit vectors, then ...

If `vecb` and `vecc` are unit vectors, then for any arbitary vector `veca, (((veca xx vecb) + (veca xx vecc))xx (vecb xx vecc)) .(vecb -vecc)` is always equal to

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`((veca xxvecb) + (veca xx vecc)) xx (vecb xx vecc)`
`(veca xx vecb) xx (vecb xx vecc) + (veca xx vecc) xx (vecb xx vecc)`
` ((veca xx vecb). Vecc) vecb - ((veca xx vecb) .vecb) vecc`
` +( (veca xx vecc).vecc) vecb - ((vecaxx vecc) .vecb)vecc`
` [veca vecb vecc] (vecb + vecc)`
`Rightarrow (( veca xx vecb ) + (veca xx vecc)) xx (vecb xx vecc)) . (vecb - vecc)`
` [veca vecb vecc] )(vecb + vecc).(vecb -vecc)`
` = [veca vecb vecc] (|vecb|^(2) - |vecc|^(2)) =0`
