Leta=i^+2j^-3k^andb=2i^-3j^+5k^. Ifr×a=b×r,r·αi^+2j^+k^=3andr·(2i^+5j^-αk^)=-1,αR,then the value ofα+|r|2is equal to :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

r×a=b×rr×a+b=0

r=λa+br=λi^+2j^-3k^+2i^-3j^+5k^

r=λ3i^-j^+2k^  ...1

r·(αi^+2j^+k^)=3

Put r from 1

αλ=1  ...2

r·2i^+5j^-αk^=-1

Put r from (1)

2λα-λ=1  ...3

Solve 2 and 3

α=1,λ=1

 r=3i^-j^+2k^

|r|2=14 & α=1

α+|r|2=15
