  • question_answer
        If\[\overrightarrow{a}=(1,p,1),\overrightarrow{b}=(q,2,2),\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}=r\]and \[\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}=(0,-3,3)\], then p, q, r are in that order

    A)  1, 5, 9                                  

    B)  9, 5, 1

    C)  5, 1, 9                                  

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Given\[\overrightarrow{a}=(1,p,1)\overrightarrow{b}=(q,2,2)\] \[\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}=r\]and\[\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}=(0,-3,3)\] \[\therefore \] \[\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}=(\hat{i}+p\hat{j}+\hat{k}).(q\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=r\]         (given) \[=q+2p+2=r\] \[\Rightarrow \]         \[q+2p+2=r\]                           ...(i) Also,       \[\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}=\left| \begin{matrix}    {\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}}  \\    1 & p & 1  \\    q & 2 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=(2p-2)\hat{i}+\hat{j}(q-2)+\hat{k}(2-pq)\] \[\{(0\hat{i}+(-3)\hat{j}+(3)\hat{k}\}\]                             (given) \[\Rightarrow \]\[2p-2=0;q-2=-3;\text{ }2-pq=3\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[p=1,\text{ }q=-1\] From Eq. (i) \[-1+2+2=r\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[r=3\] \[\therefore \]  \[p=1,q=-1,r=3\]
