D.

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Given that,
$\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow b = \overrightarrow 0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $\overrightarrow a \times \left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow c } \right) + \overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b = \overrightarrow 0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $\left( {\overrightarrow a \cdot \overrightarrow c } \right)\overrightarrow a - \left( {\overrightarrow a \cdot \overrightarrow a } \right)\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b = \overrightarrow 0 $
given that
$\overrightarrow a \cdot \overrightarrow c = 4$
and $\overrightarrow a \cdot \overrightarrow a = {\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} = {\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right)^2} = 2$
$ \Rightarrow $ $4\overrightarrow a - 2\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b = 0$
Let $\overrightarrow a = 2\widehat i + \widehat j - \widehat k$ and $\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + 2\widehat j + \widehat k$ be two vectors. Consider a vector c = $\alpha $$\overrightarrow a$ + $\beta $$\overrightarrow b$, $\alpha $, $\beta $ $ \in $ R. If the projection of $\overrightarrow c$ on the vector ($\overrightarrow a$ + $\overrightarrow b$) is $3\sqrt 2 $, then the minimum value of ($\overrightarrow c$ $-$($\overrightarrow a$ $ \times $ $\overrightarrow b$)).$\overrightarrow c$ equals ................
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
Given vectors $\overrightarrow a $$ = 2\widehat i + \widehat j - \widehat k$
and $\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + 2\widehat j + \widehat k$
So, $\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b = 3\widehat i + 3\widehat j \Rightarrow |\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b| = 3\sqrt 2 $
Since, it is given that projection of $\overrightarrow c $ = $\alpha $a + $\beta $b on the vector ($\overrightarrow a $ + $\overrightarrow b $) is $3\sqrt 2 $, then
${{(\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b ).\overrightarrow c } \over {|\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b|}} = 3\sqrt 2 $
$ \Rightarrow (\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b).(\alpha \overrightarrow a + \beta \overrightarrow b) = 18$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha (\overrightarrow a.\overrightarrow a) + \beta (\overrightarrow a.\overrightarrow b) + \alpha (\overrightarrow b.\overrightarrow a) + \beta (\overrightarrow a.\overrightarrow b) = 18$
Therefore, minimum value of $4 - 2\alpha + {\alpha ^2}$ is (4 – 2 + 1) = 3.
$ \therefore $ The minimum value of
$6(4 - 2\alpha + {\alpha^2}) = 6(3) = 18$

A.

B.

C.

D.

Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
You should know that, when $\overrightarrow u $ is coplanar with $\overrightarrow a $ and $\overrightarrow b $ then we can write $\overrightarrow u = x\overrightarrow a + y\overrightarrow b $
Here, $\overrightarrow u $ is perpendicular with $\overrightarrow a $ then,
$\overrightarrow u .\overrightarrow a = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left( {x\,\overrightarrow a + y\overrightarrow b } \right)\,.\overrightarrow a = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,x\,.\overrightarrow {\,a} \,.\,\overrightarrow a \, + \,y\,.\,\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,x\,.\,{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + \,y\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,x + y = 12.......\left( 2 \right)$
By solvig (1) and (2) we get,
x = - 2 and y = 14
Now, ${\left| {\overrightarrow u } \right|^2} = \overrightarrow u .\overrightarrow u $
$ = \,\,\,\,\left( {x\overrightarrow a + y\overrightarrow b } \right).\overrightarrow u $
$ = \,\,\,\,x\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow u + y\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow u $
$ = \,\,\,\,x\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow u + y\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow u $
$ = \,\,\,\,0 + 14 \times 24$ [as $\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow u = 0$ and $\overrightarrow u .\overrightarrow b = 24]$

B.
${{1} \over {4}}$
C.
${{15} \over {16}}$
D.
${{\sqrt {15} } \over 16}$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Given,
$\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow b + 2\overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow 0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow c = - 2\overrightarrow b $
Squaring both sides,
${\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + 4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c + 4{\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|^2} = 4{\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ 1 + $4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c $ + 4 = 4 [as $\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2$ = $\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2$ = $\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|^2$ = 1]

If | $\overrightarrow c $| = 2 and the vector c is inclined at the same angle $\alpha $ to both a and b, then the value of $8{\cos ^2}\alpha $ is ..............
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
We have,
$\overrightarrow c = x\overrightarrow a + y\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b $ and $\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b $ = 0
|$\overrightarrow a $| = |$\overrightarrow b $| = 1
and |$\overrightarrow c $| = 2
Also, given $\overrightarrow c $ is inclined on $\overrightarrow a $ and $\overrightarrow b $ with same angle $\alpha $.
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c = x|\overrightarrow a {|^2} + y(\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b ) + \overrightarrow a .(\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b )$
$|\overrightarrow a ||\overrightarrow c |cos\alpha = x + 0 + 0$
x = 2cos$\alpha $
Similarly,
$|\overrightarrow b ||\overrightarrow c |cos\alpha = 0 + y + 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ y = 2cos$\alpha $
$|\overrightarrow c {|^2} = {x^2} + {y^2} + |\overrightarrow a \, \times \,\overrightarrow b {|^2}$

C.
${1 \over 8}$
D.

Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Given:
$\overrightarrow a = 2\widehat i + \widehat j - 2\widehat k,\,\,\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + \widehat j$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = 3$
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b = 2\widehat i - 2\widehat j + \widehat k$
$\left| {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right| = \sqrt {{2^2} + {2^2} + {1^2}} = 3$
We have $\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c = \left| {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\sin 30^\circ$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\left| {\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c } \right| = 3\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|.{1 \over 2}$
$ \therefore $ $\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right| = 2$
Now $\left| {\overrightarrow c - \overrightarrow a } \right| = 3$
On squaring, we get
$ \Rightarrow $ ${c^2} + {a^2} - 2 - \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a = 9$
$ \Rightarrow $ $4 + 9 - 2 - \overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c = 9$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c = 2$ [$ \because $ $\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a \,\, = \,\,\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c $]

B.
${{5\pi } \over 6}$
C.
${{3\pi } \over 4}$
D.
${{\pi } \over 2}$
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow a \times \left( {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c } \right) = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}\left( {\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right)$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c } \right)\overrightarrow b - \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow c = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}\overrightarrow b + {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}\overrightarrow c $

A.
There is exactly one choice for such ${\overrightarrow v }$
B.
There are infinitely many choices for such ${\overrightarrow v }$
C.
If $\widehat u$ lies in the $xy$-plane then $\left| {{u_1}} \right| = \left| {{u_2}} \right|$
D.
If $\widehat u$ lies in the $xz$-plane then $2\left| {{u_1}} \right| = \left| {{u_3}} \right|$
Correct Answer: C,B
Explanation:
We have $\widehat u = {u_1}\widehat i + {u_2}\widehat j + {u_3}\widehat k$
That is, $\left| {\widehat u} \right| = 1 = \sqrt {u_1^2 + u_2^2 + u_3^2} $
Now, $\left| {\widehat u \times \overrightarrow v } \right| = 1$
That is, $\left| {\widehat u} \right|\left| {\overrightarrow v } \right|\sin \theta = 1 \Rightarrow \left| {\overrightarrow v } \right| = {1 \over {\sin \theta }}$
which shows that there are infinitely many possible values exist for $\overrightarrow v $ (here $\theta$ is angle between the vectors $\overrightarrow v $ and $\widehat u$).
Hence, option (B) is correct.
Now, $\widehat \omega \,.\,(\widehat u \times \overrightarrow v ) = 1$
$\left| {\widehat \omega \,.\,(\widehat u \times \overrightarrow v )} \right| = 1$
That is, $\left| {\widehat \omega } \right|\left| {\widehat u \times \overrightarrow v } \right|\cos \alpha = 1$
where $\alpha$ is the angle between $\widehat \omega $ and $\widehat u \times \overrightarrow v $.
Therefore, (1)(1)cos$\alpha$ = 1
$\Rightarrow$ a = 0
which means that $\widehat \omega $ and $\widehat u \times \overrightarrow v $ are parallel vector or $\widehat \omega $ is perpendicular vector to $\widehat u$ and $\overrightarrow v $.

Let $\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b $ and $\overrightarrow c $ be three non-zero vectors such that no two of them are collinear and
$\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a .$ If $\theta $ is the angle between vectors $\overrightarrow b $ and ${\overrightarrow c }$ , then a value of sin $\theta $ is :
A.
${2 \over 3}$
B.
${{ - 2\sqrt 3 } \over 3}$
C.
${{ 2\sqrt 2 } \over 3}$
D.
${{ - \sqrt 2 } \over 3}$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
$\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a $
$ \Rightarrow - \overrightarrow c \times \left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a $
$ \Rightarrow - \left( {\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow a + \left( {\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a } \right)\overrightarrow b = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a $
$ \Rightarrow - \left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\cos \theta \overrightarrow a + \left( {\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a } \right)\overrightarrow b = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a $
$\therefore$ $\,\,\,\overrightarrow a ,\,\overrightarrow b ,\,\overrightarrow c $ are non collinear, the above equation is possible only when
$ - \cos \theta = {1 \over 3}$ and $\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a = 0$

Let the components of a vector $\overrightarrow s $ along $\overrightarrow p ,$ $\overrightarrow q $ and $\overrightarrow r $ be $4, 3$ and $5,$ respectively. If the components of this vector $\overrightarrow s $ along $\left( { - \overrightarrow p + \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r } \right),\left( {\overrightarrow p - \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r } \right)$ and $\left( { - \overrightarrow p - \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r } \right)$ are $x, y$ and $z,$ respectively, then the value of $2x+y+z$ is
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Here, $\overrightarrow s = 4\overrightarrow p + 3\overrightarrow q + 5\overrightarrow r $ ....... (i)
and $\overrightarrow s = ( - \overrightarrow p + \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r )x + (\overrightarrow p - \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r )y + ( - \overrightarrow p - \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r )z$ ...... (ii)
$\therefore$ $4\overrightarrow p + 3\overrightarrow q + 5\overrightarrow r = \overrightarrow p ( - x + y - z) + \overrightarrow q (x - y - z) + \overrightarrow r (x + y + z)$
On comparing both sides, we get
$ - x + y - z = 4$, $x - y - z = 3$ and $x + y + z = 5$

Let $\overrightarrow a $ and $\overrightarrow b $ be two unit vectors. If the vectors $\,\overrightarrow c = \widehat a + 2\widehat b$ and $\overrightarrow d = 5\widehat a - 4\widehat b$ are perpendicular to each other, then the angle between $\overrightarrow a $ and $\overrightarrow b $ is :
A.
${\pi \over 6}$
B.
${\pi \over 2}$
C.
${\pi \over 3}$
D.
${\pi \over 4}$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Let $\overrightarrow c = \widehat a + 2\widehat b$ and $\overrightarrow d = 5\widehat a - 4\widehat b$
Since $\overrightarrow c $ and $\overrightarrow d $ are perpendicular to each other
$\therefore$ $\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow d = 0 \Rightarrow \left( {\widehat a + 2\widehat b} \right).\left( {5\widehat a - 4\widehat b} \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 5 + 6\widehat a.\widehat b - 8 = 0$ $\,\,\,\,\,\,$ (as $\widehat a.\widehat a = 1$)

A.
$\overrightarrow r = 3\overrightarrow q - {{3\left( {\overrightarrow p .\overrightarrow q } \right)} \over {\left( {\overrightarrow p .\overrightarrow p } \right)}}\overrightarrow p $

If $\overrightarrow a $ and $\overrightarrow b $ are vectors such that $\left| {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right| = \sqrt {29} $ and $\,\overrightarrow a \times \left( {2\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 4\widehat k} \right) = \left( {2\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 4\widehat k} \right) \times \widehat b,$ then a possible value of $\left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right).\left( { - 7\widehat i + 2\widehat j + 3\widehat k} \right)$ is

D.
$\overrightarrow b - \left( {{{\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c } \over {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b }}} \right)\overrightarrow c $
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b \ne 0,\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow d = 0$
Now, $\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow d $
$ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow a \times \left( {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c } \right) = \overrightarrow a \times \left( {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow d } \right)$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c } \right)\overrightarrow b - \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow c = \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow d } \right)\overrightarrow b - \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow d $
$ \Rightarrow \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow d = - \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c } \right)\overrightarrow b + \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow c $
$\overrightarrow d = \overrightarrow c - \left( {{{\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c } \over {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b }}} \right)\overrightarrow b $
If $\overrightarrow a = {1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}\left( {3\widehat i + \widehat k} \right)$ and $\overrightarrow b = {1 \over 7}\left( {2\widehat i + 3\widehat j - 6\widehat k} \right),$ then the value

A.

C.

We have $\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b = 0,\,\,\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow a = 1,\,\,\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow b = 1$
$\left( {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right).\left[ {\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \left( {\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow b } \right)} \right]$
$ = \left( {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right).\left[ {\left\{ {\overrightarrow a .\left( {\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow b } \right)} \right\}\overrightarrow b - \left\{ {\overrightarrow b .\left( {\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow a } \right\}} \right]$
$ = \left( {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right).\left[ {\left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow b - \left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + 2\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow b } \right)\overrightarrow a } \right]$
$ = \left( {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right).\left[ {\overrightarrow b - 2\overrightarrow a } \right]$
$ = 4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b - \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow b - 4\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow a $
Let $\overrightarrow a $, $\overrightarrow b $, $\overrightarrow c $ be three non-zero vectors which are pairwise non-collinear. If $\overrightarrow a+3 \overrightarrow b$ is collinear with $\overrightarrow c$ and $\overrightarrow b+2 \overrightarrow c$ is collinear with $\overrightarrow a$, then $\overrightarrow a+\overrightarrow b+6 \overrightarrow c$ is :
A.
$\overrightarrow a+\overrightarrow c$
B.
$\overrightarrow c$
C.
$\overrightarrow a$
D.
$\overrightarrow 0$
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
We are given that $\overrightarrow a + 3 \overrightarrow b$ is collinear with $\overrightarrow c$, and $\overrightarrow b + 2 \overrightarrow c$ is collinear with $\overrightarrow a$. This means we can write:
$\overrightarrow a + 3 \overrightarrow b = \lambda \overrightarrow c \quad ...(i)$
$\overrightarrow b + 2 \overrightarrow c = \mu \overrightarrow a \quad ...(ii)$
for some scalars $\lambda$ and $\mu$.
We are trying to find $\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + 6\overrightarrow c$ in terms of $\overrightarrow a$, $\overrightarrow b$, and $\overrightarrow c$. We can also express this as :
$\overrightarrow a + 3 \overrightarrow b + 6\overrightarrow c = (\lambda + 6) \overrightarrow c \quad ...(iii)$
by adding $6\overrightarrow c$ to both sides of equation (i).
Now, from equation (ii), multiplying by 3 gives us :
$3\overrightarrow b + 6 \overrightarrow c = 3\mu \overrightarrow a \quad ...(iv)$
Adding $\overrightarrow a$ to both sides of equation (iv) gives :
$\overrightarrow a + 3 \overrightarrow b + 6\overrightarrow c = (1 + 3\mu) \overrightarrow a \quad ...(v)$
Now, we have two expressions for $\overrightarrow a + 3 \overrightarrow b + 6\overrightarrow c$, one in terms of $\overrightarrow c$ (from equation iii) and one in terms of $\overrightarrow a$ (from equation v). Setting these equal to each other gives :
$(\lambda + 6) \overrightarrow c = (1 + 3\mu) \overrightarrow a \quad ...(vi)$
Since $\overrightarrow a$ and $\overrightarrow c$ are not collinear, this equation can only hold if the coefficients on both sides are zero, hence :
$\lambda + 6 = 0$ and $1 + 3\mu = 0$
This gives $\lambda = -6$ and $\mu = -\frac{1}{3}$.
Finally, substituting $\lambda = -6$ into equation (iii) gives :
$\overrightarrow a + 3 \overrightarrow b + 6\overrightarrow c = 0$
So, $\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + 6\overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow 0$.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D : $\overrightarrow 0$.
Let $\overrightarrow a = \widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k,\,\overrightarrow b = \widehat i - \widehat j + \widehat k$ and $\overrightarrow c = \widehat i - \widehat j - \widehat k$ be three vectors.

B.
$-3\widehat i - 3\widehat j - \widehat k$
C.
