Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
$\left( {\overrightarrow a + 3\overrightarrow b } \right) \bot \left( {7\overrightarrow a - 5\overrightarrow b } \right)$
$ \therefore $ $\left( {\overrightarrow a + 3\overrightarrow b } \right)\,.\,\left( {7\overrightarrow a - 5\overrightarrow b } \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $7{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} - 15{\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + 16\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$ ....(1)
Also, $\left( {\overrightarrow a - 4\overrightarrow b } \right)\,.\,\left( {7\overrightarrow a - 2\overrightarrow b } \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $7{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + 8{\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} - 30\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$ .....(2)
Equation (1) × 30
$210{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} - 450{\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + 480\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$ ....(3)
Equation (2) × 16
$112{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + 128{\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} - 480\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$ .....(4)
from (3) & (4)
$322{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} = 322{\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} = {\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|$
From equation (2),
$15\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = 30\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b $
$ \Rightarrow $ $15{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} = 30\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|.\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\cos \theta $
$\cos \theta = {{15} \over {30}} = {1 \over 2}$
$\therefore$ $\theta = 60^\circ $

If $\overrightarrow r $ is a vector such that $\overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow a = \overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow a $ and $\overrightarrow r .\,\overrightarrow b = 0$, then $\overrightarrow r .\,\overrightarrow a $ is equal to __________.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Given, $\overrightarrow a = \widehat i + 2\widehat j - \widehat k$,
$\overrightarrow b = \widehat i - \widehat j$,
$\overrightarrow c = \widehat i - \widehat j - \widehat k$
$\overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow a = \overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow a $
$ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow a = 0$
$ \Rightarrow (\overrightarrow r - \overrightarrow c ) \times \overrightarrow a = 0$
$\therefore$ $\overrightarrow r - \overrightarrow c = \lambda \overrightarrow a $
$ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow r = \lambda \overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow c $
$ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow r \,.\,\overrightarrow b = \lambda \overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c \,.\,\overrightarrow b $ (taking dot with $\overrightarrow b $)
$ \Rightarrow 0 = \lambda \overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c \,.\,\overrightarrow b $ [$\because$ $\overrightarrow r \,.\,\overrightarrow b = 0$]
$ \Rightarrow \lambda (\widehat i + 2\widehat j - \widehat k)\,.\,(\widehat i - \widehat j) + (\widehat i - \widehat j - \widehat k)\,.\,(\widehat i - \widehat j) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \lambda (1 - 2) + 2 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \lambda = 2$
$\therefore$ $\overrightarrow r = 2\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow c $
$ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow r \,.\,\overrightarrow a = 2\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow c \,.\,\overrightarrow a $ [taking dot with ${\overrightarrow a }$]
$ = 2{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + \overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow c $

then the value of

is ___________.
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Projection of $\overrightarrow b $
on $\overrightarrow a $
= Projection of $\overrightarrow c $
on $\overrightarrow a $
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow a } \over {\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|}} = {{\overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a } \over {\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow a = \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a $
$ \because $ $\overrightarrow b $
is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow c $
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c = 0$
Let $\left| {\overrightarrow a + \vec b - \overrightarrow c } \right|$ = k
Square both sides
k2 = ${{{\left( {\overrightarrow a } \right)}^2}}$ + ${{{\left( {\overrightarrow b } \right)}^2}}$ + ${{{\left( {\overrightarrow c } \right)}^2}}$ + $2\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b $ - $2\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c $ - $2\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow c $
$ \Rightarrow $ k2 = ${{{\left( {\overrightarrow a } \right)}^2}}$ + ${{{\left( {\overrightarrow b } \right)}^2}}$ + ${{{\left( {\overrightarrow c } \right)}^2}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ k2 = 22 + 42 + 42 = 36

Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
Let $\overrightarrow a = x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k$
Now $\widehat i \times \left( {\overrightarrow a \times \widehat i} \right) = \left( {\widehat i.\widehat i} \right)\overrightarrow a - \left( {\widehat i.\overrightarrow a } \right)\widehat i$
= $y\widehat j + z\widehat k$
Similarly $\widehat j \times \left( {\overrightarrow a \times \widehat j} \right) = x\widehat i + z\widehat k$
$\widehat k \times \left( {\overrightarrow a \times \widehat k} \right) = x\widehat i + y\widehat j$
Now ${\left| {y\widehat j + z\widehat k} \right|^2} + {\left| {x\widehat i + z\widehat k} \right|^2} + {\left| {x\widehat i + y\widehat j} \right|^2}$
= $2({x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2}) $

If $\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c $ and $\overrightarrow d $ are unit vectors such that $(\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b )\,.\,(\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d ) = 1$ and $\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow c = {1 \over 2}$, then
A.
$\overrightarrow a \,,\,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c $ are non-coplanar
B.
$\overrightarrow b \,,\,\overrightarrow c ,\overrightarrow d $ are non-coplanar
C.
$\overrightarrow b \,,\overrightarrow d $ are non-parallel
D.
$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow d $ parallel and $\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c $ are parallel
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The given equation, $(\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b )\,.\,(\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d ) = 1$, is possible only when $|\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b | = |\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d | = 1$ and $(\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b )||(\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d )$.
Since $\overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow c = 1/2$ and $\overrightarrow b ||\overrightarrow d $, we get $|\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d | \ne 1$; hence, we conclude that the vectors $\overrightarrow b $ and $\overrightarrow d $ are non-parallel.
Let two non-collinear unit vectors $\widehat a$ and $\widehat b$ form an acute angle. A point $P$ moves so that at any time $t$ the position vector $\overrightarrow {OP} $ (where $O$ is the origin) is given by $\widehat a\cos t + \widehat b\sin t.$ When $P$ is farthest from origin $O,$ let $M$ be the length of $\overrightarrow {OP} $ and $\widehat u$ be the unit vector along $\overrightarrow {OP} $. Then :
A.
$\widehat u = {{\widehat a + \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a + \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + \widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$
B.
$\widehat u = {{\widehat a - \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a - \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + \widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$
C.
$\widehat u = {{\widehat a + \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a + \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + 2\widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$
D.
$\widehat u = {{\widehat a - \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a - \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + 2\widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$

A.
${1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$
B.
${1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}$
C.
${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
D.
${1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The important thing to remember in this is the formula
${\left[ {\overrightarrow x \,.\,\overrightarrow y \,.\,\overrightarrow z } \right]^2} = \left| {\matrix{
{\overrightarrow x \,.\,\overrightarrow x } & {\overrightarrow x \,.\,\overrightarrow y } & {\overrightarrow x \,.\,\overrightarrow z } \cr
{\overrightarrow y \,.\,\overrightarrow x } & {\overrightarrow y \,.\,\overrightarrow y } & {\overrightarrow y \,.\,\overrightarrow z } \cr
{\overrightarrow z \,.\,\overrightarrow x } & {\overrightarrow z \,.\,\overrightarrow y } & {\overrightarrow z \,.\,\overrightarrow z } \cr
} } \right|$

$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad d x= & -d t \\ & \int_1^0 \sqrt{1-t}(-d t) \\ = & \int_0^1 \sqrt{1-t} d t \\ = & \int_1^1 \sqrt{1-t} d x \end{aligned} $
