Let `veca=2vecj+vecj-2veck,vecb=veci+vecj.` If `vecc` is a vector such that `veca.vecc=|vecc|,|vecc-veca|=2sqrt(2)` and the angle between `vecaxxvecb` and `vecc` is `30^(@)`. Find the value of `|(vecaxxvecb)xxvecc|`

A

`2//3`

B

`3//2`

C

2

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

`|(veca xxvecb)xxvecc|=|vecaxxvecb||vecc|sin30^(@)`
`=1/2 (vecp +vecq+vecr)a^(2)`
`or vecx=1/2 (vecp +vecq +vecr)`
we have `veca = 2hati+hatj -2hatk and vecb = hati+hatj`
`Rightarrow vecaxx vecb = 2hati -2hatj+hatk`
`or |veca xx vecb|=sqrt9=3`
Also given `|vecc-veca|^(2)=8`
`or |vecc|^(2)=|veca|^(2)-2veca.vecc=8`
Given `|aveca|=3 and veca. vecc =|vecc|` , using these we get
`|vecc|^(2) -2|vecc|+1=0`
`or (|vecc|-1)^(2)=0`
`or |vecc|=1`
Substituting values of `|veca xx vecb|and |vecc|` in (i), we get
`|(veca xx vecb)xxvecc|=1/2xx 3xx 1= 3/2`
