LetObe the origin andOA=2i^+2j^+k^,  OB=i^-2j^+2k^andOC=12OB-λOAfor someλ>0.IfOB×OC=92,then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

Question diagram: Let O be the origin and O A → = 2 i ^ + 2 j ^ + k ^ , O B →

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

OA=2i^+2j^+k^

OB=i^2j^+2k^

OC=12OBλOA;λ>0

OB×OC=92

OB×12OBλOA=92

12OB×OBλOA=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=12OBOA

OC=12i^4j^+k^

(A) 

Projection of OC on OA

=OCOAOA

=12i^4j^+k^2i^+2j^+k^4+4+1

=1228+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)

Apply angle between diagonals OD & CA

cosθ=a+caca+cac

a=2i^+2j^+k^

c=12i^+4j^+k^

a+c=32i^+32k^

a+c=94+94=322

ac=52i^+4j^+12k^

ac=254+16+14=904=3102

cosθ=154+343223102

=9294×20=15π3
