MCQ
Let $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ be two vectors. Let $|\vec{a}|=1,|\vec{b}|=4$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=2$. If $\vec{c}=(2 \vec{a} \times \vec{b})-3 \vec{b}$, then the value of $\overrightarrow{ b } \cdot \overrightarrow{ c }$ is
  • A
    $-24$
  • $-48$
  • C
    $-84$
  • D
    $-60$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-48$
b
$\overrightarrow{ c }=(2 \overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b })-3 \overrightarrow{ b }$

$\overrightarrow{ b } \cdot \overrightarrow{ c }=\overrightarrow{ b } \cdot(2 \overrightarrow{ a } \times \overrightarrow{ b })-3 \overrightarrow{ b } \cdot \overrightarrow{ b }$

$=-3| b |^2$

$=-48$
