MCQ
If $a, b, c$ be any three non-coplanar vectors, then $[a + b\,\,\,b + c\,\,\,c + a] = $
  • A
    $|a\,b\,c|$
  • $2$$[a\,b\,c]$
  • C
    ${[\,a\,b\,c\,]^2}$
  • D
    $2\,{[\,a\,b\,c\,]^2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2$$[a\,b\,c]$
b
(b) $[a + b\,\,b + c\,\,c + a] = (a + b).\{ (b + c) \times (c + a)\} $

$ = (a + b).(b \times c + b \times a + c \times c + c \times a)$

$ = (a + b).(b \times c + b \times a + c \times a)$, $\left\{ {\because \,c \times c = 0} \right\}$

$ = a.b \times c + a.b \times a + a.c \times a + b.b \times c$$ + b.b \times a + b.c \times a$

$ = [a\,b\,c] + [b\,c\,a] = 2[a\,b\,c]$.
