Letu^=u1i^+u2j^+u3k^be a unit vector inR3andw^=16 i^+ j^+2k^.Given that there exists a vectorvinR3such thatu^×v=1andw^ . u^×v=1.Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct ?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, C
Solution:

As | w ^ |=| u ^ |=1=| u ^ × v |
Letϕis angle between w ^   & ( u ^ × v )
w^ u^×vcosϕ=1   ϕ=0
u ^ × v = w ^
There may be infinite vectors v Satisfying this condition
If u ^his in xy plane :u^×v=i^j^k^u1u20v1v2v3 = w ^
u 3 =0
Let v = v 1 i ^ + v 2 j ^ + v 3 k ^
w^=u2v3i^-u1v3j^+u1v2-u2v1k^ = 1 6 i ^ + 1 6 j ^ + 2 6 k ^
u2v3=16, -u1v3=16   u1=u2
If u ^ his in xz plane u 2 =0 :u^×v=i^j^k^u10u3v1v2v3
w^=-v2u3i^-u1v3-u3v1j^+u1v2k^ = 1 6 i ^ + 1 6 j ^ + 2 6 k ^
-v2u3=16, u1v2=26
2u3=u1
