MCQ
If $a = i + j + k,\,\,b = i + j,\,\,c = i$ and $(a \times b) \times c = \lambda \,a + \mu \,b$, then $\lambda + \mu = $
  • $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
a
(a) $a\,.\,c = 1$ and $b\,.\,c = 1$

Given that $(a \times b) \times c = (c\,.\,a)b - (c\,.\,b)\,a = \mu \,b + \lambda a$

where $\mu = c\,.\,a = 1,\,\,\lambda = - \,(c\,.\,b) = - \,1$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\mu + \lambda = 1 - 1 = 0$.
