    If\[\overrightarrow{a}\times (\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c})+\overrightarrow{b}\times (\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a})\] \[+\overrightarrow{c}\times (\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b})=0,\]then:

    A)  \[\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=0\]

    B)  \[\vec{a},\vec{b},\vec{c}\]are mutually perpendicular

    C)  \[\vec{a},\vec{b},\vec{c}\]are parallel

    D)  \[\vec{a},\vec{b},\vec{c}\]can be any three arbitrary vectors

    E)  \[\vec{a},\vec{b},\vec{c}\]are coplanar vectors

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    For any three arbitrary vectors\[\overrightarrow{a},\text{ }\overrightarrow{b},\text{ }\overrightarrow{c}\] \[\overrightarrow{a}\times (\vec{b}\times \overrightarrow{c})+\overrightarrow{b}\times (\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a})+\overrightarrow{c}(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b})=\overrightarrow{0}\] (Always true).
