IIT-JEE 2011 · Paper 1, Mathematics question 54

The vector(s) which is/are coplanar with vectors i^+j^+2k^\hat i+\hat j+2\hat k and i^+2j^+k^\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k, and perpendicular to the vector i^+j^+k^\hat i+\hat j+\hat k is/are

Choose one or more options
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A, D

Coplanar vectors are λ(1,1,2)+μ(1,2,1)\lambda(1,1,2)+\mu(1,2,1); perpendicular to (1,1,1)(1,1,1) means 4λ+4μ=04\lambda+4\mu=0.

So v⃗∝(1,1,2)−(1,2,1)=(0,−1,1)\vec v\propto(1,1,2)-(1,2,1)=(0,-1,1): both j^−k^\hat j-\hat k and −j^+k^-\hat j+\hat k.

(A), (D)
