Q42 / 60 · NEST (NISER) 2017 · Mathematics
Let $\hat{i}, \hat{j}, \hat{k}$ be three mutually orthogonal unit vectors and let $x, y, z$ be three distinct real numbers. If the vectors $\vec{u}=x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}+z \hat{k}, \vec{v}=y \hat{i}+z \hat{j}+x \hat{k}$ and $\vec{w}=z \hat{i}+x \hat{j}+y \hat{k}$ are coplanar then
- Correct answerA$\vec{u}+\vec{v}+\vec{w}=\overrightarrow{0}$, where $\overrightarrow{0}$ is the null vector.
- Correct answerB$\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ is normal to the plane containing $\vec{u}, \vec{v}$ and $\vec{w}$.
- Correct answerCthe angle between any two of the vectors $\vec{v}, \vec{v}$ and $\vec{w}$ is $120^{\circ}$.
- Correct answerD$\vec{u} \times \vec{v}=\vec{v} \times \vec{w}=\vec{w} \times \vec{u}$.
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'.
