Q23 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Suppose that p→, q→ and r→ are three non - coplanar vectors in R3 . Let the components of a vector s→ along \(p, q\) and \(r\) be 4,3 and 5 respectively. If the components of -p→+ q→+ r→,  p→- q→+ r→ and - p→- q→+ r→ are x, y and z, respectively, then the value of 2x+y+z is

Correct answer: 9

Solution

This question is seem to be wrong but may be taken as
S→=x-p→+q→+r→+yp→-q→+r→+z-p→-q→+r→
-x+y-z=4 ..... (i)
x-y-z=3 ...... (ii)
x+y+z=5 ..... (iii)
Add (i) and (ii)
-2z=7⇒z=-72
2x=8⇒x=4
2x+y+z=24+1=9

Hence, the correct answer is 9.
