If `vecaxx(vecbxxvecc)=(vecaxxvecb)xxvecc` for non coplanar `veca,vecb,vecc` then……

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

we are given that
`(veca.vecc) vecb-(vecb.vecc)veca=(veca.vecc)vecb - (veca.vecb) vecc`
`(veca.vecb)vecc-(vecb.vecc)veca=vec0`
`Rightarrow (vecaxxvecc) xxvecb=vec0`
Thus , either , `vecb =vec0 or veca xx vecc = vec0`
But `vecb ne vec0` therefore, `veca xx vecc =vec0` and hence
`vecc = t veca ,, i.e. veca and vecc` are collinear.
