Algebra of Vectors Excercise: MCQ

Algebra of Vectors exercise Multiple choice question 1

Answer: $(1-\sqrt{3}) \hat{i}+(1+\sqrt{3}) \hat{j}$
Hint: You have to find circumcenter of $\Delta ABC$
Given: In $\Delta A B C, A=(0,0), B=(3,3 \sqrt{3}), C=(-3 \sqrt{3}, 3)$ , magnitude $2\sqrt{2}$
Solution:

$\begin{aligned} &|\overrightarrow{A O}|=2 \sqrt{2} \\ &|\overrightarrow{A O}|=|\overrightarrow{B O}|=|\overrightarrow{C O}|=2 \sqrt{2}=R \end{aligned}$
Let Positive vector of be $x \hat{i}+y\hat{j}$
$\begin{aligned} &|\overrightarrow{A O}|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} \\\\ &x^{2}+y^{2}=8 \end{aligned}$ ...................(1)
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Also }|\overrightarrow{B O}|=|\overrightarrow{C O}|\\\\ &\sqrt{(x-3)^{2}+(y-3 \sqrt{3})^{2}}=\sqrt{(x+3 \sqrt{3})^{2}+(y-3)^{2}}\\\\ &x^{2}-6 x+9+y^{2}-6 \sqrt{3} y+27=x^{2}+6 \sqrt{3} x+27+y^{2}-6 y+9\\\\ &y(6-6 \sqrt{3})=x(6 \sqrt{3}+6) \end{aligned}$
$y=\frac{x(\sqrt{3}+1)}{1-\sqrt{3}}$ ......................(2)
Substituting from (2) and (1) we get
$\begin{aligned} &(1-\sqrt{3})^{2} x^{2}+(1+\sqrt{3})^{2} x^{2}=8(1-\sqrt{3})^{2} \\\\ &x^{2} \times 8=8(1-\sqrt{3})^{2} \\\\ &x=1-\sqrt{3} \\\\ &y=1+\sqrt{3} \end{aligned}$
The positive vector of O is $(1-\sqrt{3}) \hat{i}+(1+\sqrt{3}) \hat{j}$
$\overrightarrow{A O}=(1-\sqrt{3}) \hat{i}+(1+\sqrt{3}) \hat{j}$

The Resultant Force $\vec{R}=3 \overrightarrow{O A}+5 \overrightarrow{O B}$ ……….. (1)
The angle between $i$ and force
$\vec{R}, 3 \overrightarrow{O A}, 5 \overrightarrow{O B} \text { are } \angle C O N, \angle A O N, \angle B O N$

$\vec{R} \vec{i}=3 \overrightarrow{O A} \vec{i}+5 \overrightarrow{O B} \vec{i}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { R.1.cos } \angle C O N=3 \\\\ &\overrightarrow{O A} \cdot 1 . \cos \angle B O N \\\\ &R \cdot \frac{O N}{O C}=3 \overrightarrow{O A} \times \frac{O N}{O A}+5 \overrightarrow{O B} \times \frac{O N}{O B} \\\\ &\frac{R}{O C}=3+5, R=8 \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{O C}$ we know that
$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{O A}=\overrightarrow{O C}+\overrightarrow{C A} \\\\ &3 \overrightarrow{O A}=3 \overrightarrow{O C}+3 \overrightarrow{C A} \end{aligned}$ ..................(i)
$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{O B}=\overrightarrow{O C}+\overrightarrow{C B} \\\\ &5 \overrightarrow{O B}=5 \overrightarrow{O C}+5 \overrightarrow{C B} \end{aligned}$ ..................(ii)
On adding (i) and (ii)
$\begin{aligned} &3 \overrightarrow{O A}+5 \overrightarrow{O B}=8 \overrightarrow{O C}+3 \overrightarrow{C A}+5 \overrightarrow{C B} \\ \end{aligned}$
$R=8 \overrightarrow{O C}+3 \overrightarrow{C A}+5 \overrightarrow{C B} \\$
$8 \overrightarrow{O C}=8 \overrightarrow{O C}+3 \overrightarrow{C A}+5 \overrightarrow{C B} \\$
$|3 \overrightarrow{A C}|=|5 \overrightarrow{C B}| \\$
$3 A C=5 C B$

Algebra of Vectors exercise Multiple choice question 4

Answer: None of these
Hint: Find $\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}$

Solution: Let $a+b=x c$ …………. (1)
$b+c=y a$ …………. (2)
Then $a+b+c=?$
Multiply equation (2) by 2
$2(b+c)=(y a) 2$ ...............(3)
$2 b+2 c=2 a y$
Subtract equation (3) by eq (1)
$\begin{aligned} &2 b+2 c-2 a y-a-b+x c \\\\ &b+(2+x) c+(-2 y-1) a=0 \end{aligned}$
Comparing both sides
$\begin{aligned} &b=0 \\ &(2+x) c=0 \\ &2 c=-x c \\ &x=-2 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &(-2 y-1) a=0 \\ &-2 y a=1 \\ &y=\frac{1}{-2 a} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} &\vec{c}-\vec{d}=\vec{b}-\vec{a} \\ \\ &\overrightarrow{A B}=\overrightarrow{D C} \text { and } \vec{a}+\vec{c}=\vec{b}+\vec{d} \\ \\ &\vec{c}-\vec{d}=\vec{b}-\vec{a} \\ \\ &\overrightarrow{A D}=\overrightarrow{B C} \end{aligned}$
Since $\vec{a}+\vec{c}=\vec{b}+\vec{d}$
$\frac{1}{2}(\vec{a}+\vec{c})=\frac{1}{2}(\vec{b}+\vec{d})$
So position vector midpoint of $BD =$ position vector of midpoint of $AC$
Hence bisect each other
The given point $ABCD$ is parallelogram.

$\begin{aligned} &|\overrightarrow{B C}|=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+6^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+36+16}=\sqrt{56}=2 \sqrt{14} \\\\ &\overrightarrow{C A}=\overrightarrow{O A}-\overrightarrow{O C} \\\\ &=(2-1) \hat{i}+(1-4) \hat{j}+(-1+3) \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \\\\ &|\overrightarrow{C A}|=\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2}+2^{2}}=\sqrt{1+9+4}=\sqrt{14} \end{aligned}$

Algebra of Vectors exercise Multiple choice question 15

Answer: $(2,-3)$
Hint: $(x,y)$ value find
Given: If three points $A, B , C$ have position vectors $\begin{aligned} &\hat{i}+x \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \\\\ &3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k} \\ \\ &y \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$ respective are collinear , then $(x,y)=$

$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{A B}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}-\hat{i}-x \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}=2 \hat{i}+(4-x) \hat{j}+4 \hat{k} \\\\ &\overrightarrow{B C}=y \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}-3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}=(y-3) \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
Since vectors are collinear.
$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{A B}=\lambda \overrightarrow{B C} \\\\ &2 \hat{i}+(4-x) \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}=\lambda((y-3) \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k}) \\\\ &2=\lambda(y-3) \end{aligned}$ ...................(1)
$(4-x)=-6 \lambda$ ....................(2)

Answer: Both $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$ have same direction but different magnitude
Hint: Talk about $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$
Given: If $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$ are collinear vector, then which of the following are incorrect?
Solution: If $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$ are two collinear vectors then they are parallel
Therefore, $\vec{b}=\lambda \vec{a}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { If } \lambda=\pm 1 \text { then } a=\pm b\\\\ &\text { If } \vec{a}=a_{1} \hat{i}+a_{2} \hat{j}+a_{3} \hat{k} \text { and } \vec{b}=b_{1} \hat{i}+b_{2} \hat{j}+b_{3} \hat{k} \text { then } \vec{b}=\lambda \vec{a} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &b_{1}=\lambda a_{1}, b_{2}=\lambda a_{2} \text { and } b_{3}=\lambda a_{3} \\\\ &\frac{b_{1}}{a_{1}}=\frac{b_{2}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{3}}{a_{3}}=\lambda \end{aligned}$
Thus, respective component of $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$ proportional. However, vector $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$ have different direction.
So Statement $D$ is incorrect
That both $\vec{a} \; \& \; \vec{b}$ have same direction but different magnitude.

Answer: $\sqrt{209}$
Hint: $|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|$
Given: If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are position vectors of point $A(2,3,-4), B(3,-4,-5) \; \& \; C(3,2,-3)$
Then $|\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|$ is equal to
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\\\ &\vec{b}=3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k} \\\\ &\vec{c}=3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{gathered} |\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}|=(2+3+3) \hat{i}+(3-4+2) \hat{j}+(-4-5-3) \hat{k} \\\\ \end{gathered}$
$=8 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-12 \hat{k}$
Magnitude:
$\begin{aligned} &=\sqrt{8^{2}+1^{2}+(-12)^{2}} \\\\ &=\sqrt{64+1+144} \\\\ &=\sqrt{209} \end{aligned}$
