JEE Main 2022 · 29 Jun · Shift 2, Mathematics question 21

Let a⃗=i^−2j^+3k^\vec a=\hat i-2\hat j+3\hat k, b⃗=i^+j^+k^\vec b=\hat i+\hat j+\hat k and c⃗\vec c be a vector such that a⃗+(b⃗×c⃗)=0⃗\vec a+\left(\vec b\times\vec c\right)=\vec0 and b⃗⋅c⃗=5\vec b\cdot\vec c=5. Then, the value of 3(c⃗⋅a⃗)3\left(\vec c\cdot\vec a\right) is equal to ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: Dropped: full marks to everyone

This question was dropped in NTA's final key.

Inconsistent data. b⃗×c⃗=−a⃗\vec b\times\vec c=-\vec a requires a⃗⊥b⃗\vec a\perp\vec b, but a⃗⋅b⃗=1−2+3=2≠0\vec a\cdot\vec b=1-2+3=2\ne0. No such c⃗\vec c exists.
