    If \[\left| \begin{align}   & 6i\,\,\,\,-3i\,\,\,\,1 \\  & 4\,\,\,\,\,\,3i\,\,\,\,\,\,-1 \\  & 20\,\,\,\,3\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,i \\ \end{align} \right|=\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{iy}\], then

    A)  \[x=3,y=1\]                 

    B)  \[x=0,y=3\]    

    C)  \[~x=1,\text{ }y=3\]               

    D)  \[x=0,\text{ }y=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [b] \[\because \overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}+\overrightarrow{c}=0.\] \[\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}=-\overrightarrow{c}\,\Rightarrow {{(\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}={{(-\overrightarrow{c})}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{\left| \overrightarrow{a} \right|}^{2}}+{{\left| \overrightarrow{b} \right|}^{2}}+2\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}={{\left| \overrightarrow{c} \right|}^{2}}~\Rightarrow {{\left( 3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}+2\left| \overrightarrow{a} \right|.\left| \overrightarrow{b} \right|.\cos \theta =49\]\[\Rightarrow 9+25+2\times 3\times 5.cos\theta =49\Rightarrow 30.cos\theta =49-34=15\] \[cos\theta =\frac{15}{30}=\frac{1}{2}~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow cos\theta =cos\frac{\pi }{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{3}\] Hence, option [b] is correct.
