The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will break down the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 We have three vectors: - \( \vec{a} = a_1 \hat{i} + a_2 \hat{j} + a_3 \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{b} = b_1 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} + b_3 \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{c} = c_1 \hat{i} + c_2 \hat{j} + c_3 \hat{k} \) These vectors are mutually perpendicular unit vectors. This means: 1. \( |\vec{a}| = |\vec{b}| = |\vec{c}| = 1 \) 2. \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \) 3. \( \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = 0 \) 4. \( \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} = 0 \) ### Step 2: Forming New Vectors Next, we form three new vectors: - \( \vec{u_1} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{u_2} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} + c_2 \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{u_3} = a_3 \hat{i} + b_3 \hat{j} + c_3 \hat{k} \) We need to determine if these new vectors \( \vec{u_1}, \vec{u_2}, \vec{u_3} \) can also be mutually perpendicular. ### Step 3: Checking Mutual Perpendicularity To check if \( \vec{u_1}, \vec{u_2}, \vec{u_3} \) are mutually perpendicular, we compute their dot products: 1. \( \vec{u_1} \cdot \vec{u_2} \) 2. \( \vec{u_2} \cdot \vec{u_3} \) 3. \( \vec{u_3} \cdot \vec{u_1} \) Calculating \( \vec{u_1} \cdot \vec{u_2} \): \[ \vec{u_1} \cdot \vec{u_2} = (a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k}) \cdot (a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} + c_2 \hat{k}) = a_1 a_2 + b_1 b_2 + c_1 c_2 \] For the vectors to be mutually perpendicular, this dot product must equal zero: \[ a_1 a_2 + b_1 b_2 + c_1 c_2 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Determinant Condition The condition for three vectors to be mutually perpendicular can also be represented using the determinant of a matrix formed by these vectors. The determinant of the matrix formed by the coefficients of the vectors must equal zero. The determinant \( D \) of the original vectors is: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\ c_1 & c_2 & c_3 \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 5: Transpose Property By the property of determinants, the value of a determinant remains the same when transposed. Therefore, if \( D = 0 \), then the determinant of the new vectors formed will also be zero. ### Conclusion Since the determinant of the original vectors is zero, the new vectors formed from the components of the original vectors can also be mutually perpendicular. Thus, Statement 1 is correct. ### Statement 2 Statement 2 states that the value of a determinant and its transpose are the same. This is a well-known property of determinants and is indeed correct. ### Final Answer Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct.

To analyze the given statements, we will break down the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 We have three vectors: - \( \vec{a} = a_1 \hat{i} + a_2 \hat{j} + a_3 \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{b} = b_1 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} + b_3 \hat{k} \) - \( \vec{c} = c_1 \hat{i} + c_2 \hat{j} + c_3 \hat{k} \) ...
