If vec u ,"" vec v , vec w are nonco...

If ` vec u ,"" vec v , vec w` are noncoplanar vectors and p, q are real numbers, then the equality `[3 vec u ,""p vec v , p vec w]-[p vec v ,"" vec w , q vec u]-[2 vec w ,""q vec v , q vec u]=0` holds for (1) exactly one value of (p, q) (2) exactly two values of (p, q) (3) more than two but not all values of (p, q) (4) all values of (p, q)

A

exactly two values of (p,q)

B

more than two but not all value of (p,q)

C

all values of (p,q)

D

exactly one value of (p,q)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Since, `[3upvpw]`
`-[pvwqu]-[2wqvqu]=0`
`therefore3p^(2)[u*(vxxw)]-pq[v*(wxxu)]`
`-2q^(2)[w*(vxxu)]=0`
`implies(3p^(2)-pq+2q^(2))[u*(vxxw)]=0`
but `[uvw]ne0`
`implies(3p^(2)-pq+2q^(2))=0`
`impliesp=q=0`
