Question
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}},\vec{\text{c}}$ are unit vectors such that $\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}=0,$ then the value of $\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}}$ is:
  1. 1.
  2. 3.
  3. $-\frac{3}{2}.$
  4. None of these.

Answer

  1. $-\frac{3}{2}.$
Solution:
We have $\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}=0$
$\Rightarrow(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}})(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}})=0$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}^2+\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}^2+\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}^2=0$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}^2+\vec{\text{b}}^2+\vec{\text{c}}^2+2(\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}})=0$ $[\because\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}=\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}\text{ and }\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}}=\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}]$
$\Rightarrow1+1+1+2(\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}})=0$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{c}}\cdot\vec{\text{a}}=-\frac{3}{2}$
