Question : 20 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Let a = 4i^+5j^k^ , b = i^4j^+5k^ and c = 3i^+j^k^. Find a vector d which is perpendicular to both c and b and d.a = 21.
Solution:  
Let d = xi^+yj^+zk^
since d is perpendicular to c and b , so their dot product is zero
d.c = 0 and d.b = 0
3x + y - z = 0 ... (1)
x - 4y + 5z = 0 ... (2)
Also given that d.a = 21.
4x + 5y - z = 21 ... (3)
Solving all the equations simultaneously
x = 13 , y = 163 , z = 133
d = 13 (i^+16j^+13k^)
