Question
If $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|=4,\big|\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big|=2,$ then $|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=$
  1. 6
  2. 2
  3. 20
  4. 8

Answer

  1. 20

Solution:

We know

$\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|62=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2\dots(1)$

$\big|\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big|=2$ (Given)

$\Rightarrow\big|\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2$

From (1), we get

$(2)^2+(4)^2=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$

$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=20$
