    Let \[\vec{a}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\]and \[\vec{b}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}.\]Let \[\vec{c}\]be a  vector such that\[|\vec{c}-\vec{a}|=3,\left| (\vec{a}\times \vec{b})\times \vec{c} \right|=3\]and  the angle between \[\vec{c}\]and \[\vec{a}\times \vec{b}\]  be \[{{30}^{o}}.\] Then \[\vec{a}.\vec{c}\] is equal to:     JEE Main Solved Paper-2017

    A)  \[\frac{1}{8}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{25}{8}\]

    C)  2                                            

    D)  5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\vec{a}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-2\hat{k},\,\vec{b}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}\]and \[|\vec{a}|=3\] \[\therefore \]  \[\vec{a}\times \vec{b}=2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\] \[|\vec{a}\times \vec{b}|=3\] Now:\[(\vec{a}\times \vec{b})\times \vec{c}=|\vec{a}\times \vec{b}||\vec{c}|\sin 30\hat{n}\] \[|(\vec{a}\times \vec{b})\times \vec{c}|=3.|\vec{c}|.\frac{1}{2}\] \[3=3|\vec{c}|.\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[|\vec{c}|\,=2\] Now:     \[|\vec{c}-\vec{a}|=3\] \[{{c}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}-2\vec{c}.\vec{a}=9\] \[4+9-2\vec{a}.\vec{c}=9\] \[\vec{a}.\vec{c}=2\]
