If ` vecx.veca=0 ` , ` vecx.vecb=0 ` , ` vecx.vecc=0 ` and ` vecxnevec0 ` then show yhat ` veca ` , ` vecb ` , ` vecc ` are coplanar .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
` vecX. vecA = 0 Rightarrow " either " vecA = 0 or vecX bot vecA`
` vecX.vecC =0 Rightarrow " either" vecC=0 vecX bot vecC`
In any of the three cases,
`vecA, vecB, vecC =0 Rightarrow [vecA vecB vecC] =0`
Otherwise if `vecX bot vecA, vecX bot vecB and vecX bot vecC` , then
`vecA, vecB and vecC` are coplanar. then
` [ vecA vecB vecC] =0`
Therefore, the statement is true.
