There are two vectors `vecA=3hati+hatjandvecB=hatj+2hatk`. For these two vectors,
Find a unit vector which is perpendicular to both `vecA&vecB`.

A

`vec(A)`

B

`vec(B)`

C

`vec(A)xxvec(B)`

D

`vec(A)` & `vec(B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`vec(A)xx(vec(A)xxvec(B))=vec(A)(vec(A).vec(B))-vec(B)(vec(A).vec(A))rArr` this vector lies in plane of `vec(A)` & `vec(B)`
