IIT-JEE 2008 Paper 2 Offline | Vector Algebra Question 35 | Mathematics

Let two non-collinear unit vectors $$\widehat a$$ and $$\widehat b$$ form an acute angle. A point $$P$$ moves so that at any time $$t$$ the position vector $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$ (where $$O$$ is the origin) is given by $$\widehat a\cos t + \widehat b\sin t.$$ When $$P$$ is farthest from origin $$O,$$ let $$M$$ be the length of $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$ and $$\widehat u$$ be the unit vector along $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$. Then :

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a + \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a + \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + \widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a - \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a - \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + \widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a + \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a + \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + 2\widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

$$\widehat u = {{\widehat a - \widehat b} \over {\left| {\widehat a - \widehat b} \right|}}\,\,and\,\,M = {\left( {1 + 2\widehat a.\,\widehat b} \right)^{1/2}}$$

The edges of a parallelopiped are of unit length and are parallel to non-coplanar unit vectors $$\overrightarrow a \,,\,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c $$ such that $$\widehat a\,.\,\widehat b = \widehat b\,.\,\widehat c = \widehat c\,.\,\widehat a = {1 \over 2}.$$ Then, the volume of the parallelopiped is :

$${1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$

$${1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}$$

$${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$$

$${1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$$

Let the vectors $$\overrightarrow {PQ} ,\,\,\overrightarrow {QR} ,\,\,\overrightarrow {RS} ,\,\,\overrightarrow {ST} ,\,\,\overrightarrow {TU} ,$$ and $$\overrightarrow {UP} ,$$ represent the sides of a regular hexagon.

STATEMENT-1: $$\overrightarrow {PQ} \times \left( {\overrightarrow {RS} + \overrightarrow {ST} } \right) \ne \overrightarrow 0 .$$ because
STATEMENT-2: $$\overrightarrow {PQ} \times \overrightarrow {RS} = \overrightarrow 0 $$ and $$\overrightarrow {PQ} \times \overrightarrow {ST} \ne \overrightarrow 0 \,\,.$$

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
