Question

Let $\overrightarrow{\text{a}} = \hat{\text{i}} + 4\hat{\text{j}} +2\hat{\text{k}}, \overrightarrow{\text{b}} = 3\hat{\text{i}} - 2\hat{\text{j}} +7\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\text{c}} = 2\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} + 4\hat{\text{k}}$ Find a vector $\overrightarrow{\text{d}}$ which is perpendicular to both $\overrightarrow{\text{a}} \text{and} \overrightarrow{\text{b}}\text{and} \overrightarrow{\text{c}} . \overrightarrow{\text{d}} = 27.$

Answer

$\text{Writing} \overrightarrow{\text{d}} = \lambda\bigg(\overrightarrow{\text{a}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{b}}\bigg)$
$= \lambda \begin{vmatrix} \hat{\text{i}} & \hat{\text{j}} & \hat{\text{k}} \\ 1 & 4 & 2 \\ 3 & -2 & 7 \end{vmatrix} $
$ = \lambda \bigg(32 \hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} - 14\hat{\text{k}}\bigg)\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(1)}$
$\overrightarrow{\text{c}}. \overrightarrow{\text{d}} = 27$
$\bigg(2\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} + 4\hat{\text{k}}\bigg).\lambda\bigg(32\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} + 14\hat{\text{k}}\bigg) = 27$
$9\lambda = 27$
$\lambda = 3$
$\therefore\overrightarrow{\text{d}} = \bigg(96\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{3j}} + 42\hat{\text{k}}\bigg)$

An aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of Rs. 400 is made on each first class ticket and a profit of Rs. 600 is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least 20 seats of first class. However, at least 4 times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class to the first class. Determine how many each type of tickets must be sold in order to maximize the profit for the airline. What is the maximum profit.
