Statement 1: `veca, vecb and vecc` arwe three mutually perpendicular unit vectors and `vecd` is a vector such that `veca, vecb, vecc and vecd` are non- coplanar. If `[vecd vecb vecc] = [vecdvecavecb] = [vecdvecc veca] = 1, " then " vecd= veca+vecb+vecc`
Statement 2: `[vecd vecb vecc] = [vecd veca vecb] = [vecdveccveca] Rightarrow vecd` is equally inclined to `veca, vecb and vecc`.

A

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given statements about the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\), and \(\vec{d}\). ### Step 1: Understanding the Given Information We know: - \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) are mutually perpendicular unit vectors. - \(\vec{d}\) is a vector such that \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\), and \(\vec{d}\) are non-coplanar. - The scalar triple products are given as: \[ [\vec{d}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] = [\vec{d}, \vec{a}, \vec{b}] = [\vec{d}, \vec{c}, \vec{a}] = 1 \] ### Step 2: Analyzing Statement 1 We need to show that if the above conditions hold, then \(\vec{d} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}\). 1. **Assume \(\vec{d}\) in terms of \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\)**: \[ \vec{d} = \lambda_1 \vec{a} + \lambda_2 \vec{b} + \lambda_3 \vec{c} \] 2. **Calculate the scalar triple product \([\vec{d}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}]\)**: \[ [\vec{d}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] = \vec{d} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \] Since \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) are perpendicular unit vectors, \(\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = \vec{a}\) and its magnitude is 1. Thus, \[ [\vec{d}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] = \vec{d} \cdot \vec{a} = \lambda_1 \] Given that this equals 1, we have: \[ \lambda_1 = 1 \] 3. **Calculate the scalar triple product \([\vec{d}, \vec{a}, \vec{b}]\)**: \[ [\vec{d}, \vec{a}, \vec{b}] = \vec{d} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) = \vec{d} \cdot \vec{c} = \lambda_3 \] Given that this equals 1, we have: \[ \lambda_3 = 1 \] 4. **Calculate the scalar triple product \([\vec{d}, \vec{c}, \vec{a}]\)**: \[ [\vec{d}, \vec{c}, \vec{a}] = \vec{d} \cdot (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) = \vec{d} \cdot \vec{b} = \lambda_2 \] Given that this equals 1, we have: \[ \lambda_2 = 1 \] 5. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: Therefore, we have: \[ \vec{d} = 1 \cdot \vec{a} + 1 \cdot \vec{b} + 1 \cdot \vec{c} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} \] Hence, Statement 1 is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyzing Statement 2 We need to determine if \([\vec{d}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] = [\vec{d}, \vec{a}, \vec{b}] = [\vec{d}, \vec{c}, \vec{a}]\) implies that \(\vec{d}\) is equally inclined to \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). 1. **Understanding Equal Inclination**: If \(\vec{d}\) is equally inclined to \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\), it means the angles between \(\vec{d}\) and each of the unit vectors are the same. 2. **Using the Scalar Triple Product**: Since all three scalar triple products are equal to 1, it indicates that the projection of \(\vec{d}\) onto the axes defined by \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) are equal, which implies equal inclination. 3. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: Thus, Statement 2 is also **true**. ### Final Conclusion Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 is indeed the correct explanation of Statement 1.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given statements about the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\), and \(\vec{d}\). ### Step 1: Understanding the Given Information We know: - \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) are mutually perpendicular unit vectors. - \(\vec{d}\) is a vector such that \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\), and \(\vec{d}\) are non-coplanar. - The scalar triple products are given as: \[ ...
