Write a vector satisfying $\vec{\text{a}}.\hat{\text{i}}=\vec{\text{a}}.\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}\big)=\vec{\text{a}}.\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)=1.$

Answer

Let $\vec{\text{a}}=\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}$
$\vec{\text{a}}.\hat{\text{i}}=\text{a}_1$
$\vec{\text{a}}.\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}\big)=\text{a}_1+\text{a}_2$
$\vec{\text{a}}.\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)=\text{a}_1+\text{a}_2+\text{a}_3$
Given that
$\vec{\text{a}}.\hat{\text{i}}=\vec{\text{a}}.\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}\big)=\vec{\text{a}}.\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}_1=\text{a}_1+\text{a}_2=\text{a}_1+\text{a}_2+\text{a}_3=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}_1=1;\text{a}_1+\text{a}_2=1;\text{a}_1+\text{a}_2+\text{a}_3=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}_1=1;1+\text{a}_2=1;1+\text{a}_2+\text{a}_3=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}_1=1;\text{a}_2=0;1+0+\text{a}_3=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}_1=1;\text{a}_2=0;\text{a}_3=0$
So, $\vec{\text{a}}=\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}=1\hat{\text{i}}+0\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}=\hat{\text{i}}$
