Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
r x b= c x b
⇒ (r-c) x b=0 ⇒ r−c+λb
or r=c+λb..........(i)
Given, r.a=0 , taking dot product with a for eq.(i)
Now, r.a=a.c+λa.b
∴ λ=→a.→ca.b [∵→r.→a=0]......(ii)
From Eq.(i) and (ii) , we get
r=c−a.ca.bb
Taking dot with b, we get
r.b=c.b−a.ca.b(b.b)
where, [a=−ˆi−ˆkb=−ˆi+ˆjc=ˆi+2ˆj+3ˆk]
=(−1+2)−(−1−3)(1)(1+1)=1+8=9
