Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let `vecb=alphahati+betahatj+lambdahatk, veca xx vecb=hatj-hatk`
`rArr |{:(hati,hatj,hatk),(1,1,1),(alpha,beta,lambda):}|=hatj-hatk`
`rArr beta-lambda=0, alpha-lambda=1,alpha-beta=1`
`rArr beta=lambda,alpha=1+lambda,alpha=1+beta`
`veca.vecb=1`
`rArr alpha+beta+lambda=1, rArr beta+1+beta+beta =1 rArr beta=0`
`therefore alpha=1, lambda=0, therefore vecb=hati`
