Q44 / 100 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Vector Algebra

Let a→,b→,c→ be three non-zero, non-coplanar vectors and p→,q→,r→ be three vectors given by p→=a→+2b→-2c→, q→=3a→+b→-3c→ and r→=a→-4b→+4c→. If the volume of parallelepiped determined by a→, b→ and c→ is v1 cubic units and volume of tetrahedron determined by p→, q→ and r→ is v2 cubic units, then v1v2 is equal to

  • A
    13
  • B
    34
  • C
    14
  • Correct answer
    D
    12

Solution

v1=a→b→c→
v2=16p→q→r→=1612-231-31-44a→b→c→
v2=1614-12-212+3-2-12-1a→b→c→
v2=16-8-30+26a→b→c→
v2=2a→b→c→
v1v2=12=0.5

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