Let and be three vectors such that and is perpendicular to . Then a possible value of is :
- A(1, 5, 1)
- B(1, 3, 1)
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Given vectors
We are given:
- Use the condition
First compute:
Since
comparing the components,
So,
- Use the perpendicular condition
Divide by :
So,
- Now check the options
We need values satisfying both:
Option A:
If ,
So A is incorrect.
Option B:
If ,
So B is incorrect.
Option C:
If ,
and
Both match. So C is correct.
Option D:
If ,
So D is incorrect.
- Final answer
The possible value is
So the correct option is C.
