If $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{a}}=\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{b}}=\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{c}}=0$ for some non-zero vector $\vec{\text{r}},$ then the value of $\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{ b }}\vec{\text{c}}\big],$ is:
  • A

Answer

Correct option: C.
0
If $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{a}}=0$ for some non-zero vector $\vec{\text{r}},$ then either $\vec{\text{a}}$ is a zero - vector or it is perpendicular to $\vec{\text{r}}.$
If one of $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}},\vec{\text{c}}$ is zero, then $\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]=0$
If all $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}}$ and $\vec{\text{c}}$ are non - zero, then they must be coplanar as they are perpendicular to vector $\vec{\text{r}}.$
$\therefore\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]=0$
