MCQ
Unit vector $\vec r$ which satisfies $\vec r \times \vec b = \vec r \times \vec c$ where $\vec b = \hat i + 2\hat j + \hat k$ & $\vec c = 3\hat i + 2\hat k$ , is
  • $ \pm \left( {\frac{{2\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k}}{3}} \right)$
  • B
    $ \pm \left( {\frac{{2\hat i + 2\hat j + \hat k}}{3}} \right)$
  • C
    $ \pm \left( {\frac{{\hat i + \hat j + \hat k}}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)$
  • D
    $ \pm \,\hat i$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ \pm \left( {\frac{{2\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k}}{3}} \right)$
a
$(\vec{r} \times \vec{b})-(\vec{r} \times \vec{c})=\overrightarrow{0} \Rightarrow \vec{r} \times(\vec{b}-\vec{c})=\overrightarrow{0}$

$ \Rightarrow \vec r = \lambda (\vec b - \vec c) = \lambda ( - 2\hat i + 2\hat j - \hat k)$

$ \Rightarrow \hat r =  \pm \left( {\frac{{2\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k}}{3}} \right)$
