Q24 / 57 · JEE Advanced 2021 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Let O be the origin and OA→=2i^+2j^+k^,  OB→=i^-2j^+2k^ and OC→=12OB→-λOA→ for some λ>0. If OB→×OC→=92, then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Projection of OC→ and OA→ is -32
  • Correct answer
    B
    Area of the triangle OAB is 92
  • Correct answer
    C
    Area of the triangle ABC is 92
  • D
    The acute angle between the diagonals of the parallelogram with adjacent sides OA→ and OC→ is π3

Solution

OA→=2i^+2j^+k^

OB→=i^−2j^+2k^

OC→=12OB→−λOA→;λ>0

OB→×OC→=92

⇒OB→×12OB→−λOA→=92

⇒12OB→×OB→−λOA→=92

⇒12λOA→×OB→=92

⇒λ2OA→×OB→=92      ...1

now, OA→×OB→=i^j^k^2211-22

=6i^−3j^−6k^

⇒OA→×OB→=36+9+36=9        ...2

Put in (1) λ2×9=92

⇒λ=1

⇒λ=±1         ∵ λ>0

⇒λ=1

⇒OC→=12OB→−OA→

OC→=12−i^−4j^+k^

(A) 

Projection of OC→ on OA→

=OC→⋅OA→OA→

=12−i^−4j^+k^⋅2i^+2j^+k^4+4+1

=12−2−8+13

=−96=−32

(B) Area of ΔOAB=12OA→×OB→

=92 sq unit

(C) 

Area of   

ABE=12|AB→×AC→|

AB→=-i^-4j^+k^

AC→=-52i^-4j^-k^2

AB→×AC→=i^j^k^-1-41-52-4-12

=6i^-3j^-6k^

|AB→×AC→|=36+9+36=9

Area of ∆ABC=12AB→×AC→

=92 sq.unit

(D)

Figure

Apply angle between diagonals OD→ & CA→

cosθ=a→+c→⋅a→−c→a→+c→a→−c→

a→=2i^+2j^+k^

c→=12−i^+4j^+k^

a→+c→=32i^+32k^

a→+c→=94+94=322

a→−c→=52i^+4j^+12k^

a→−c→=254+16+14=904=3102

cosθ=154+343223102

=9294×20=15≠π3

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'C'.
