MCQ
If $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}},\vec{\text{c}} $ are three non-coplanar mutually perpendicular unit vectors, then $\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big],$ is:
  • ✓
    $\pm 1$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $-2$
  • D
    $2$
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\pm 1$
We have

$\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$

$=\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big).\vec{\text{c}}$

$=\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|\big|\vec{\text{c}}\big|\cos0^\circ$ or $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times{\vec{\text{b}}}\big|\big|\vec{\text{c}}\big|\cos180^\circ$ $\big(\therefore\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}},\vec{\text{c}}$ are perpendicular to each other$)$

$=\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|$ or $-\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|$ $\big(\therefore\big|\vec{\text{c}}\big|=1,\cos0^\circ=1\text{ and }\cos180^\circ=-1\big)$ $$

$=\big|\vec{\text{a}}\big|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\sin90^\circ$ or $-\big|\text{a}\big|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\sin90$ $\big(\therefore\vec{\text{a}} \text{ is perpendicular to }\vec{\text{b}})$

$=1 \text{ or }-1$ $\big(\therefore\big|\vec{\text{a}}\big|=1 \text{ and }\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=1\big)$ $$

$=\pm1$
