Correct answer: C
-
We need to find |(vec b \times \vec a)-\vec b|^2. Given:
-
Use the identity Let Then |(vec b\times \vec a)-\vec b|^2=|\vec b\times \vec a|^2+|\vec b|^2-2(\vec b\times \vec a)\cdot \vec b.
-
Now, is perpendicular to both and . Hence So the expression becomes |(vec b\times \vec a)-\vec b|^2=|\vec b\times \vec a|^2+|\vec b|^2.
-
Substitute the given values: Therefore, |(vec b\times \vec a)-\vec b|^2=4+1=5.
-
Hence the correct option is which is Option C.
