MCQ

If $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}},\vec{\text{c}}$ are three non-coplanar vectors, then $\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big[\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big)\times\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big)\big]$ equals:

A
$0$
B
$\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$
C
$2\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$
✓
$-\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

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

$\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big[\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big)\times\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big)\big]$

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

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

$=0+0+\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]+\big[\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]+0+0+0+\big[\vec{\text{c}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{a}}\big]+0$

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