Let

\bar{u}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}, \bar{v}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}

and

\bar{w}

be a unit vector, then the maximum value of the scalar triple product

[\bar{u} \bar{v} \bar{w}]

, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\sqrt{6}

Option C (

\sqrt{6}

) is correct because the maximum value of the scalar triple product occurs when

\bar{w}

is in the direction of

\bar{u} \times \bar{v}

, and its magnitude is

|\bar{u} \times \bar{v}|
