Q50 / 100 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Vector Algebra

If a→, b→ and c→ are three vectors such that 3a→+4b→+6c→=0→, a→=3, b→=3 and c→=4, then the value of -864a→.b→+b→⋅c→+c→.a→6 is equal to

Correct answer: 1863

Solution

3a→+4b→=-6c→⇒3a→+4b→2=36c→2
⇒9a→2+16b→2+24a→.b→=36c→2
⇒81+144+24a→.b→=576
⇒a→.b→=35124
Similarly, 3a→+6c→=-4b→⇒3a→+6c→2=16b→2
⇒9a→2+36c→2+36a→.c→=16b→2
⇒81+576+36a→.c→=144
⇒a→.c→=-51336
And, 6c→+4b→=-3a→⇒36c→|2+16b→|2+48b→⋅c→=9a→2
⇒576+144+48b→.c→=81⇒b→.c→=-21316
Hence, -864(a→.b→+b→.c→+c→.a→)6=-12636+12312+115026=1863

Hence, the correct answer is 1863.
