Q40 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let a→=i^+4j^+2k^,b→=3i^-2j^+7k^ and c→=2i^-j^+4k^. If a vector d→ satisfies d→×b→=c→×b→ and d→·a→=24, then d→2 is equal to

  • A
    323
  • B
    423
  • C
    313
  • Correct answer
    D
    413

Solution

We have been given that

d→×b→=c→×b→

⇒(d→-c→)×b→=0

⇒d→-c→=λb→  (∵d→≠c→)

⇒d→=c→+λb→

It is given that a→·d→=24 

⇒a→·c→+λb→·a→=24

⇒6+λ(3-8+14)=24

⇒9λ=18

⇒λ=2

∴d→=c→+2b→

⇒d→=8i^-5j^+18k^

|d→|2=64+25+324=413

Hence, this is the correct option.

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