vec ba n d vec c are unit vectors. Then ...

` vec ba n d vec c` are unit vectors. Then for any arbitrary vector ` vec a ,((( vec axx vec b)+( vec axx vec c))xx( vec bxx vec c))dot( vec b- vec c)` is always equal to `| vec a|` b. `1/2| vec a|` c. `1/3| vec a|` d. none of these

A

`(vecd. (veca + vecc))/([veca vecb vecc])=2`

B

`(vecd. (veca + vecc))/([veca vecb vecc])=-2`

C

minimum value of `x^(2) + y^(2) is pi^(2)//4`

D

minimum value of `x^(2) + y^(2) is 5 pi^(2)//4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b,d

`vecd. veca = [veca vecb vecc] cos y=-vecd. (vecb+vecc)`
` or cos y = (vecd. (vecb +vecc))/([veca.vecb.vecc]) `
similarly, ` sin x = (vecd.(veca+vecb))/([veca vecb vecc]) and (vecd.(veca+vecc))/([veca vecb vecc])=-2`
`sin x + cos y + 2 = 0`
` or sin x + cos y =-2 `
` or sin x =-1 , cos y = -1 `
since we want the minimum value of `x^(2) + y^(2) x = -pi//2 , y = pi`
,Therefore, the minimum value of `x^(2) + y^(2) is 5 pi^(2)//4`
