- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D, A
-
Let
We need vectors which are:
- coplanar with and r lie in the plane spanned by ,
- perpendicular to .
-
Any vector coplanar with and can be written as So,
-
Since is perpendicular to , Therefore,
-
Hence Now, So every such vector is a scalar multiple of .
-
Check the options:
-
A:
This is a scalar multiple of the required vector, so it lies in the same plane and is perpendicular to .
Correct.
-
B:
Dot with : but check if it is in span of . If then From first two, , , then . Not coplanar with .
Incorrect.
-
C:
Dot with : but check span: From first two, , , then . Not coplanar.
Incorrect.
-
D:
This is exactly , so it is coplanar. Also, so it is perpendicular to .
Correct.
-
-
Therefore, the correct vectors are
