Let `veca and vecb` be unit vectors that are perpendicular to each other l. then `[veca+ (veca xx vecb) vecb + (veca xx vecb) veca xx vecb]` will always be equal to

A

1

B

0

C

`-1`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`[ veca + (hata xx vecb) vecb + (veca xx vecb) veca xx vecb]`
` (veca + (veca xx vecb)) . (( vecb + (veca xx vecb))xx (veca xx vecb))`
` (veca + (veca xx vecb)) . (vecb xx (veca xx vecb))`
` (veca + (veca xx vecb)) . (veca- (veca.vecb) vecb)`
`veca. veca =1 " " (as veca. vecb =0, veca, (veca xx vecb) =0)`
