MCQ
$(\hat{i}+\hat{j}) \times(\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{k}+\hat{i})$ is equal to
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • $2$
  • D
    $-1$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2$
$(\hat{i}+\hat{j}) \times(\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{k}+\hat{i})=(\hat{i} \times \hat{j}+\hat{i} \times \hat{k}+\hat{j} \times \hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{k}+\hat{i})$
$=(\hat{k}-\hat{j}+\hat{i}) \cdot(\hat{k}+\hat{i})=\hat{k} \cdot \hat{k}+\hat{i} \cdot \hat{i} \quad(\because \hat{i} \cdot \hat{j}=\hat{j} \cdot \hat{k}=\hat{k} \cdot \hat{i}=0)$
$=|\hat{k}|^2+|\hat{i}|^2=1+1=2$
