(2i^+6j^+27k^)*(i^+λj^+μk^)=0

i^(6μ27λ)j^(2μ27)+k^(2λ6)=0i^+0j^+0k^

On comparing both side components,

6μ27λ=0,2μ27=02μ=27μ=272,2λ6=02λ=6λ=62=3

 Therefore, the value of μ=272 and λ=3

Show that

(ab)*(a+b)=2(a*b)(ab)*(a+b)=a(a+b)b(a+b)=a*a+a*bb*ab*b=0+a*bb*a0=a*b+a*b[a*b=b*a]=2(a*b)

Let a=(a1,a2,a3) as component

We know,

a is a unit vector, |a|=1

Given that,

a marks angles π3 with i^ , π4 with j^ and θ with k^ acute angle.

Now,

cosπ3=a1|a|12=a1[|a|=1]cosπ4=a2|a|⇒1/√2
=a2cosθ=a3|a|a3=cosθ

We know,

|a|=1

Given,

a=3i^+2j^+2k^b=i^+2j^2k^a+b=4i^+4j^,ab=2i^+4j^

A vector which is perpendicular to both a+b and ab is given by

Say

Therefore, the unit vector is

c|c|=±16i^16j^8k^24=±1624i^±1624j^±824k^=±23i^±23j^±13k

Vector λa is a unit vector if |λa|=1

Now,

|λa|=1|λ||a|=1|a|=1|λ| [λ0]a=1|λ| [|a|=a]

 Therefore, vectar λa is a unit vector if a= 1|λ| .

Option (D)is correct.

Let vector 2i^j^+k^, i^3j^5k^ and 3i^4j^4k^ be position vector of point A, B, C respectively.

So,

OA=2i^j^+k^OB=i^3j^5k^OC=3i^4j^4k^

Now, vectors AB, BC and AC represents the sides of ? ABC .

Hence,

Consider

a=2i^+4j^+3k^b=3i^+3j^6k^ and

Then,

a.b=2.3+4.3+3. (6)=6+1218=0

Therefore, the converse of the given statement need not be true.
