    				| 1. | Find the volume ofthe parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vector: ` vec a=2 hat i+3 hat j+4 hat k , vec b= hat i+2 hat j- hat k , vec c=3 hat i- hat j+2 hat k`.A. 21 cubic unitsB. 14 cubic unitsC. 7 cubic unitsD. none of these | 
| Answer» Correct Answer - C We have `(vec(a)xxvec(b)).vec(c)=|(2,-3,4),(1,2,-1),(3,-1,2)|=2(4-1)+3(2+3)+4(-1-6)` `=(6+15-28)=-7`. `:.` volume of the parallelopiped `=|(vec(a)xxvec(b)).vec(c)|=|-7|=7` cubic units. | |
