Q43 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let |a→|=2,|b→|=3 and the angle between the vectors a→ and b→ be π4. Then |(a→+2b→)×(2a→-3b→)|2 is equal to

  • A
    441
  • B
    482
  • C
    841
  • Correct answer
    D
    882

Solution

Given,

|a→|=2,|b→|=3 and the angle between the vectors a→ and b→ be π4,

Now solving,

|(a→+2b→)×(2a→-3b→)|2

=|-3(a→×b→)+4(b→×a→)|2 as a→×a→=0 & b→×b→=0

=|7(b→×a→)|2 as b→×a→=-a→×b→

=49|a|2|b|2sin2π4

=49×4×9×12

=882

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
