If veca, vecb, vecc and vecd are unit ve...

If `veca, vecb, vecc and vecd` are unit vectors such that `(vecaxx vecb).(veccxxvecd)=1 and veca.vecc=1/2`then

A

`veca, vecb and vecc` are non- coplanar

B

`vecb, vecc and vecd` are non-coplanar

C

`vecb and vecd` are non- parallel

D

`veca and vecd` are parallel and `vecb and vecc` are parallel

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

` (veca xx vecb) . (vecc xx vecd) =1 ` is possible only when
` |veca xx vecb|= |vecc xx vecd|=1 and (veca xx vecb) || (vecc xx vecd)`
since `veca . Vecc = 1/2 and if vecb||vecd , " then " |vecc xx vecd|ne 1`
