JEE Main 2026 · 6 Apr · Shift 1, Mathematics question 23

If a⃗=i^+j^+k^\vec a=\hat i+\hat j+\hat k, b⃗=j^−k^\vec b=\hat j-\hat k and c⃗\vec c be three vectors such that a⃗×c⃗=b⃗\vec a\times\vec c=\vec b and a⃗⋅c⃗=3\vec a\cdot\vec c=3, then c⃗⋅(a⃗−2b⃗)\vec c\cdot\left(\vec a-2\vec b\right) is equal to ________.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 3

Two dot products.

  • c⃗⋅a⃗=3\vec c\cdot\vec a=3.
  • c⃗⋅b⃗=c⃗⋅(a⃗×c⃗)=0\vec c\cdot\vec b=\vec c\cdot(\vec a\times\vec c)=0.

So c⃗⋅(a⃗−2b⃗)=3\vec c\cdot(\vec a-2\vec b)=3.

Answer: 3
