\alpha

and

\beta

are two mutually perpendicular unit vectors

\{r \alpha+r+s(\alpha \times \beta\},[\alpha+(\alpha \times \beta)]

and

\{s \alpha+s \beta+t(\alpha \times \beta)\}

are coplanar, then

s

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

None of these

Option D (None of these) is correct because the condition for coplanarity leads to

s^2 = rt

, implying

s

is the geometric mean of

r

and

t

, but the options do not explicitly state this.
