If vec c is a unit vector perpendicular...

If ` vec c` is a unit vector perpendicular to the vectors ` vec a\ a n d\ vec b` write another unit vector perpendicular ` vec a\ a n d\ vec bdot`

A

`vec(a)xxvec(a)`

B

`vec(c)xxvec(b)`

C

`-((vec(a)xxvec(b)))/(|vec(a)xxvec(b)|)`

D

`((vec(a)xxvec(b)))/(|vec(a)xxvec(b)|)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Let `vec(c)` is unit vector perpendicular to both the vectors `vec(a) and vec(b)`.
So, A unit vector which is perpendicular to both the
vector `vec(a) and vec(b) ` is `((vec(a)xxvec(b)))/(|vec(a)xxvec(b)|)`
