The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given conditions and equations systematically. ### Step 1: Define the vectors Given: - \( \vec{a} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \) - \( \vec{b} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k} \) Let \( \vec{c} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k} \). ### Step 2: Determine the condition for \( \vec{c} \) being perpendicular to the z-axis Since \( \vec{c} \) is perpendicular to the z-axis, we have: - \( z = 0 \) Thus, \( \vec{c} \) simplifies to: - \( \vec{c} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} \) ### Step 3: Use the dot product conditions We are given two conditions: 1. \( \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} = 9 \) 2. \( \vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} = -4 \) #### Condition 1: Calculating \( \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} \): \[ \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \cdot (3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 5\hat{k}) = 3x - y = 9 \] This gives us our first equation: \[ 3x - y = 9 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] #### Condition 2: Calculating \( \vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} \): \[ \vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) = x + 2y = -4 \] This gives us our second equation: \[ x + 2y = -4 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the system of equations We have the following system of equations: 1. \( 3x - y = 9 \) 2. \( x + 2y = -4 \) From Equation 1, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = 3x - 9 \] Substituting this into Equation 2: \[ x + 2(3x - 9) = -4 \] \[ x + 6x - 18 = -4 \] \[ 7x - 18 = -4 \] \[ 7x = 14 \] \[ x = 2 \] Now substituting \( x = 2 \) back into Equation 1 to find \( y \): \[ 3(2) - y = 9 \] \[ 6 - y = 9 \] \[ -y = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -3 \] Thus, we have: \[ \vec{c} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} \] ### Step 5: Calculate angles \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) The angles \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are the inclinations of \( \vec{c} \) with the x-axis and y-axis, respectively. #### Angle \( \alpha \): Using the formula: \[ \cos(\alpha) = \frac{\vec{c} \cdot \hat{i}}{|\vec{c}|} \] Calculating \( |\vec{c}| \): \[ |\vec{c}| = \sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \] Now, calculating \( \cos(\alpha) \): \[ \vec{c} \cdot \hat{i} = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \cos(\alpha) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \] Thus, \[ \alpha = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \] #### Angle \( \beta \): Using the formula: \[ \cos(\beta) = \frac{\vec{c} \cdot \hat{j}}{|\vec{c}|} \] Calculating \( \cos(\beta) \): \[ \vec{c} \cdot \hat{j} = -3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \cos(\beta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt{13}} \] Thus, \[ \beta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{-3}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \] ### Step 6: Analyze the angles We can conclude: - \( \alpha \) is an angle in the first quadrant (since \( \cos(\alpha) > 0 \)). - \( \beta \) is an angle in the second quadrant (since \( \cos(\beta) < 0 \)). ### Step 7: Determine which statement is not true Based on the values of \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \): - \( \alpha \) is greater than \( 45^\circ \) (true). - \( \beta \) is greater than \( 90^\circ \) (true). Thus, we can conclude which of the statements is not true based on the provided options.
