  • question_answer
    If\[\overrightarrow{A}=2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k},\overrightarrow{B}=-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\]and\[\overrightarrow{C}=3\hat{i}+\hat{j}\]and\[(\overrightarrow{A}+t\overrightarrow{B})\bot \overrightarrow{C},\]ihent is equal to

    A)  5                   

    B)  4

    C)  6                   

    D)  8

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Given, \[\overrightarrow{A}=2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] \[\overrightarrow{B}=-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\] and       \[\overrightarrow{C}=3\hat{i}+\hat{j}\] \[\overrightarrow{A}+t\overrightarrow{B}=(2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k})+t(-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k})\] \[=(2-t)\hat{i}+(2+2t)\hat{j}+(3+t)\hat{k}\] \[\because \] \[(\overrightarrow{A}+t\overrightarrow{B})\bot \overrightarrow{C}\] \[\therefore \] \[(\overrightarrow{A}+t\overrightarrow{B}).\overrightarrow{C}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[[(2-t)\hat{i}+(2+2t)\hat{j}+(3+t)\hat{k}].[3\hat{i}+\hat{j}]=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(2-t)3+(2+2t).1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[6-3t+2+2t=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-t+8=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[t=8\]
