Let

a = 2\widehat i + \widehat j - 2\widehat k{\text{ }}\,\,{\text{and }}\,\,b = \widehat i + \widehat j.

If c is a vector such that

a \cdot c = |c|,\,\,|c - a\mid = 2\sqrt 2

and the angle between

a \times b

and

c

30^\circ ,

then

|(a \times b) \times c|

equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

03-Feb

The correct answer is 3/2 because it is calculated by finding the magnitude of vector c, then using the cross product formula and the given angle to find the magnitude of the triple vector product.
