A class XII student appearing for a competitive examination was asked to attempt the following questions.
Let a , b and c ๐e
three
non zero vectors.
Question 1

(a) a ⊥ b โ
(b) a ∥ b โ
(c) a = b
(d) None of these
Question 2
If a = i ฬ – 2j ฬ, b = 2i ฬ + j ฬ + 3k ฬ then evaluate (2a + b) โ [(a + b) × (a − 2b)]
(a) 0
(b) 4
(c) 3
(d) 2
Question 3
If a and b are unit vectors and ๐ be the angle between them the, |a โ -b โ | is
(a) sin θ/2
(b) 2 sin θ/2
(c) 2 cos θ/2
(d) cos θ/2
Question 4
Let a, b and c be unit vectors such that a โ b = a โ c = 0 and angle between b and c โ is π/6 then a =
(a) 2(b × c)
(b) –2 (b × c)
(c) ±2 (b × c)
(d) 2 (b ± c)
Question 5

(a) 70
(b) 35
(c) √70/2
(d) √70
