Q87 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 1) · Physics

If P→=3i^+3j^+2k^ and Q→=4i^+3j^+2.5k^  then, the unit vector in the direction of P→×Q→ is 1x(3i^+j^-23k^). The value of x is

Correct answer: 4

Solution

Unit vector in the direction of P→×Q→ is n^=P→×Q→|P→×Q→|.

Here, P→×Q→=i^j^k^332432.5=3i^2+j^2-3k^

And P→×Q→=322+122+32=4=2

⇒P→×Q→|P→×Q→|=123i^2+j^2-3k^

=14(3i^+j^-23k^)  ⇒x=4

Hence, the correct answer is 4.
