Let vec(a)=(1, -2, 3) and vec(b)=(3, 1, 2) be two vectors and vec(c)be a vector of length l and parallel to (vec(a)+vec(b)). What is vec(c) equal to ?

Answer»

`(1)/(sqrt(4))(-2,-3,1)`
`(1)/(sqrt(2))(1,0,1)`
`(1)/(sqrt(42))(-5,-4,1)`
None of these

Solution :Given `vec(a)=vec(i)-2hat(J)+3hat(K)`
and `vec(b)=3hat(i)+HAT(j)+2hat(k)`
`:.vec(a)+vec(b)=4hat(i)-j+5hat(k)`
Then, `vec(c)=lambda(vec(a)+vec(b))`
`=lambda(4hat(i)-hat(j)+5hat(k))`
`rArr L=sqrt(16lambda^(2)+lambda^(2)+25lambda^(2))`
`l=sqrt(42)lambda`
`lambda=(l)/(sqrt(42))`
`:. vec(c)=(l)/(sqrt(42))(4hat(i)-hat(j)+5hat(k))=(1)/(sqrt(42))(4, -1, 5)`
