    SOLUTIONS
    1. Find a + b = -j + k
    And a b = 2i j k
    You know that unit vector is perpendicular to both a + b and a b
    N = (a + b ) x (a b)
    =| (a + b ) x (a b)|

    Now (a + b ) x (a b) = 1 1
    = 2i + 2j + 2k
    2 1 1

    | (a + b ) x (a b)| = (22+22+22) = 23
    2+2+2

    2. Let r divides PQ internally in the ratio 2:1. The position vector R


    2( + + ) + 1 ( + 2 )
    2+1

    R =

    Let R divides PQ externally

    = -3i + 3k
    3. Given that a . b = a . c
    Or a.b=a.c
    Or a.b-a.c = 0
    Or a(b-c) =0 a.b
    Therefor b=c as a=0 or a perpendicular (b-c)
    Again ab =0
    Or ab c =0
    Therefor b=c
    Or a parallel b-c
    From (I) and (II) b=c
    4. Area of triangle = (ABAC)
    Given points are A(1,1,1), B(2,1,3) and C(0,0,1)
    Therefore OA= I+J+K , OB= 2I+J+3K, OC=1.K
    Therefor AB=I+2K AC=I-J
    Now ABAC= (2I-2J-K)
    ABAC =3
    Therefore Area of a traingle = 3/2 square unit.
    5. Here AB = -I 2J 6K
    BC = 2I J + K

    CA =-I + 3J +5K
    Therefore| AB|2 = 41 = 6+ 35 =| BC |2 + | CA |2
    Hence points are vertices of a right triangle
    Here a + b = 6i -2j + (7 +) k
    a-b = -4i + (7- ) k
    (a+b) is perpendicular to (a-b)
    Therefore (a+b). (a-b) =0 this gives = 5
    The projection of the vector a=2i+3j+2k on the vector b=i+2j+k=1 by |B|. (a.b)=
    2.1+3.2+2.1/(1)2 +(2)2+(1)2= 5/36
    Since a+b+c =0 we have
    a.(a+b+c) =0
    or a.a + a.b + a.c = 0
    or a.b + a.c = - |a|2 = -1
    (I)
    again b.(a+b+c) = 0
    or a.b + b.c = - |b|2 = -16
    (ii)
    similarly a.c + b.c = -4
    (iii)
    adding (i), (ii) and (iii) we have
    2(a.b + b.c + a.c ) = -21
    And therefore 2 = -21 i.e =-21/2
    AB = position vector B position vector A
    =2+4j-k
    Therefore |AB|= 32
    Similarly CD= -2I -8J +2K AND |CD| =62.
    Thus cos = AB.CD/|AB| |CD| = -36/36 =-1
    Since 0Q . it follows that Q = hence AB and CD are collinear.
    Resultant vector a and b = a + b = 3i + j +0k any vector parallel to the vector 32+J+0K is of the
    form .(32+J+0K)
    As per question |.(32+J+0K)| = 5
    i.e (3)2 + ()2 + (0)2 = 5 i.e 102 = 25 or = 5/2
    hence required vector is either 5/2 (32+J) or - 5/2(32+J)
