Direction of λ\(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{a}\) is same if λ is _______(a) imaginary(b) negative(c) positive(d) zeroThis question was addressed to me during an online interview.This intriguing question originated from Multiplication of a Vector by a Scalar topic in chapter Vector Algebra of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (c) positive

To explain: Direction of λ\(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{a}\) is same if value λ is positive as it GIVES it a direction which is positive in NATURE. If the value of λ is NEGATIVE then the direction of the result after MULTIPLICATION becomes in opposite direction. WHEREAS the value of the product vector becomes zero if value of λ is 0.
