The unit vector which is orthogonal to the vector `5hati + 2hatj + 6hatk ` and is coplanar with vectors `2hati + hatj + hatk and hati - hatj + hatk `isA. `(2hati - 6hatj + hatk)/sqrt41`B. `(2hati-3hatj)/sqrt13`C. `(3 hati -hatk)/sqrt10`D. `(4hati + 3hatj - 3hatk)/sqrt34` |

Answer» Correct Answer - c Any vector coplanar, to `veca and vecb ` can be written as `vecr=muveca + lamdavecb` `vecr = (mu + 2lamda) hati + ( -mu+lamda) hatj + ( mu + lamda) hatk` since `vecr` is othorgonal to `5hati + 2hatj + 6hatk` ` Rightarrow 5 ( mu + 2lambda) +2 ( - mu+ lamda) + 6 ( mu + lambda) = 0` `or 9mu + 18 lamda =0` ` or lamda =-1/2 mu ` ` vecr = lamda ( 3hatj -hatk)` Since `hatr` is a unit vector s, `hatr = (3hati -hatk) / sqrt10` |
