Let the vectors $\vec{a} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}$. For some $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbb{R}$, let $\vec{c} = \lambda \vec{a} + \mu \vec{b}$. If $\vec{c} \cdot (3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) = 10$ and $\vec{c} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) = -2$, then $|\vec{c}|^2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $14$
  • D
    $15$

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

If the angle between unit vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is $2\theta$,and $|\vec{a} - \vec{b}| < 1$ with $0 \le \theta \le \pi$,then in which interval does $\theta$ lie?

$A$ vector $\overrightarrow{a} = \alpha \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \beta \hat{k}$ (where $\alpha, \beta \in R$) lies in the plane of the vectors $\overrightarrow{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{c} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}$. If $\overrightarrow{a}$ bisects the angle between $\overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{c}$,then:
