1) 18

2) 12

3) 9

4) 15

Solution:

Given:
$\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}, \quad \vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$

Calculate $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}$:
$\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\
2 & -3 & 1 \\
3 & 2 & 5
\end{vmatrix} = -17\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} + 13\hat{k}$

Given:
$(\vec{a} - \vec{c}) \times \vec{b} = -18\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}$

Then:
$(\vec{a} - \vec{c}) \times \vec{b} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b} - \vec{c} \times \vec{b}$

So:
$\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = -18\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 12\hat{k} - (-17\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} + 13\hat{k})$

$\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = -\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - \hat{k}$

Let $\vec{d} = \vec{b} \times \vec{c}$

Now:
$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{d} = (2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \cdot (-\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - \hat{k})$

$= -2 - 12 - 1 = -15$

Therefore:
$|\vec{a} \cdot \vec{d}| = 15$

Hence, the answer is option 4.

Question 2: Let $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ be the vectors of the same magnitude such that $\frac{|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|+|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|}{|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|-|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|}=\sqrt{2}+1$. Then $\frac{|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|^2}{|\vec{a}|^2}$ is :

1) $2+\sqrt{2}$

2) $2+4 \sqrt{2}$

3) $4+2 \sqrt{2}$

4) $1+\sqrt{2}$

Solution:

$\frac{|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|+|\bar{a}-\bar{b}|}{|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|-|\bar{a}-\bar{b}|}=\sqrt{2}+1$

Apply componendo and dividendo

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{2|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|}{2|\bar{a}-\bar{b}|}=\frac{\sqrt{2}+2}{\sqrt{2}} \\ & \Rightarrow|\overline{\mathrm{a}}+\overline{\mathrm{b}}|=(1+\sqrt{2})|\overline{\mathrm{a}}-\overline{\mathrm{b}}| \\ & \Rightarrow|\overline{\mathrm{a}}+\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2=(3+2 \sqrt{2})|\overline{\mathrm{a}}-\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2 \\ & \Rightarrow 2|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2+2 \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}=(3+2 \sqrt{2})\left(2|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2-2 \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow 2|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2(2+2 \sqrt{2})=2 \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}(4+2 \sqrt{2}) \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}}{|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2}=\frac{2+2 \sqrt{2}}{4+2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\end{aligned}$

Now

$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{|\overline{\mathrm{a}}+\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2}{|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2}=1+\frac{|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2}{|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2}+\frac{2 \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{~b}}}{|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2} \\
& =1+1+2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=2+\sqrt{2}
\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option 1

Question 3: Consider two vectors $\vec{u}=3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}$ and $\vec{v}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\lambda \hat{k}, \lambda>0$. The angle between them is given by $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{7}}\right)$. Let $\vec{v}=\vec{v}_1+\vec{v}_2$, where $\vec{v}_1$ is parallel to $\vec{u}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_2}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{u}$. Then the value $\left|\overrightarrow{v_1}\right|^2+\left|\overrightarrow{v_2}\right|^2$ is equal to

1) $\frac{23}{2}$

2) $\frac{25}{2}$

3) 10

4) 14

Solution:

$\begin{aligned} & \vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}=|u| \cdot|v| \cdot \cos \theta \\ & \Rightarrow 6-1=\sqrt{10} \cdot \sqrt{5+\lambda^2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{7}} \\ & \Rightarrow 1=\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{5+\lambda^2} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7}} \\ & \Rightarrow 14=5+\lambda^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda^2=9 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=3\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & v_1=k \vec{u} \\ & \vec{v}=\vec{v}_1+\vec{v}_2 \\ & \Rightarrow \vec{v}=k \vec{u}+\vec{v}_2 \\ & \vec{v} \cdot \vec{u}=k \cdot|\vec{u}|^2\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 5=k \cdot 10 \Rightarrow k=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \therefore \quad \vec{v}_1=\frac{\vec{u}}{2}=\frac{3 \hat{i}}{2}-\frac{\hat{j}}{2}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \left|\vec{v}_1\right|^2=\frac{10}{4} \\ & \vec{v}_2=\vec{v}-\vec{v}_1\end{aligned}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \hat{i}+\frac{3 \hat{j}}{2}-3 \hat{k}$

$\begin{aligned} & \left|\vec{v}_2\right|^2=\frac{10}{4}+9 \\ & \left|\vec{v}_1\right|^2+\left|\vec{v}_2\right|^2=\frac{10}{4}+\frac{10}{4}+9=14\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option 4

Question 4: Let the angle $\theta, 0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}$ between two unit vectors $\hat{a}$ and $\hat{b}$ be $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{65}}{9}\right)$. If the vector $\vec{c}=3 \hat{a}+6 \hat{b}+9(\hat{a} \times \hat{b})$, then the value of $9(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{a})-3(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{b})$ is

1) 31

2) 29

3) 24

4) 27

Solution:

To solve the problem, we begin with

$\vec{c}=3 \hat{a}+6 \hat{b}+9(\hat{a} \times \hat{b})$

Let's calculate:

$\begin{aligned}
& \vec{c} \cdot \hat{a}=3+6(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}) \\
& \vec{c} \cdot \hat{b}=3(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b})+6
\end{aligned}$

We need to find the value of $9(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{a})-3(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{b})$.

Substituting the expressions, we get:

$\begin{aligned} & 9(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{a})=9(3+6 \hat{a} \cdot \hat{b})=27+54(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}) \\ & 3(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{b})=3(3 \hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}+6)=9 \hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}+18\end{aligned}$

Therefore,

$9(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{a})-3(\vec{c} \cdot \hat{b})=(27+54(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}))-(9 \hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}+18)$

Simplifying,

$\begin{aligned}
& =27-18+54(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b})-9(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}) \\
& =9+45(\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b})
\end{aligned}$

Given $\sin \theta=\frac{\sqrt{65}}{9}$, and knowing that for unit vectors $\cos \theta=\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}$, we use the identity $(\cos \theta)^2=1-(\sin \theta)^2$ :

$\begin{aligned}
& (\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b})^2=1-\left(\frac{\sqrt{65}}{9}\right)^2 \\
& =1-\frac{65}{81} \\
& =\frac{16}{81}
\end{aligned}$

Thus, $\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}=\frac{4}{9}$.
Substitute back into the equation:

$9+45 \times \frac{4}{9}=9+20=29$

Hence, the correct answer is option 2

Question 5: If $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$ is a nonzero vector such that its projections on the vectors $2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}, \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}$ and $\hat{k}$ are equal, then a unit vector along $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$ is

1) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{155}}(-7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k})$

2) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{155}}(-7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})$

3) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{155}}(7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})$

4) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{155}}(7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k})$

Solution:

Projection of $\vec{a}$ on $\vec{v}$

$=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{v}}{|\vec{v}|}-$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{\vec{a} \cdot(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})}{3}=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \hat{k}}{1}=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})}{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k})=0 \text { and } \vec{a} \cdot(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \vec{a} \perp(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}) \text { and }(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}) \\ & \Rightarrow \vec{a} \|(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}) \times(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \vec{a}= \pm k\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & -\hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 2 & -5\end{array}\right|= \pm k(7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}) \\ & \Rightarrow \text { Unit vector will be } \frac{1}{\sqrt{155}}(7 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k})\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option 4

Question 6: Let the area of the triangle formed by the lines $x+2=y-1=z, \frac{x-3}{5}=\frac{y}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}$ and $\frac{x}{-3}=\frac{y-3}{3}=\frac{z-2}{1}$ be $A$. Then $A^2$ is equal to ______

Solution:

$L_1=\frac{x+2}{1}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z}{1}=\lambda$, any point on it $(\lambda-2, \lambda$ $+1, \lambda)$

$L_2=\frac{x-3}{5}=\frac{y}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}=\mu$, any point on it $(5 \mu+3$, $-\mu, \mu+1)$

$L_3=\frac{x}{-3}=\frac{y-3}{3}=\frac{z-2}{1}=k$, any point on it $(-3 k$, $3 k+3, k+2)$

$P \equiv$ point of intersection of $L_1$ and $L_2=(-2,1,0)$
$Q=$ point of intersection of $L_1$ and $L_3=(0,3,2)$
$R \equiv$ point of intersection of $L_2$ and $L_3=(3,0,1)$

$\begin{aligned} & \overline{P Q}=2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \\ & \overline{P R}=5 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\end{aligned}$

$A=\frac{1}{2}|\overline{P Q} \times \overline{P R}|=\sqrt{56}$

$A^2=56$
Hence, the answer is (56).

Question 7:Let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}$. Let $\hat{\mathrm{c}}$ be a unit vector in the plane of the vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ and be perpendicular to $\vec{a}$. Then such a vector $\hat{\mathbf{c}}$ is :

1) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}(\hat{\mathrm{j}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{k}})$

2) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(-\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}})$

3) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})$

4) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(-\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})$

Solution:

$\begin{aligned} & \vec{c}=x \vec{a}+y \vec{b} \\ & \vec{c}=x(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})+y(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}) \\ & \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(x(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})+y(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})) \\ & (\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(x \hat{i}+2 x \hat{j}+x \hat{k})+2 y \hat{i}+y \hat{j}-y \hat{k}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(x+2 y)+2(x+9)+(x-y)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad y=-2 x \\ & \therefore \quad \vec{c}=x(-3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k}) \\ & |\vec{c}|=|x| \sqrt{9+9}=3|x| \sqrt{2} \\ & \therefore|\vec{c}|=1 \\ & 3|x| \sqrt{2}=1 \\ & |x|=\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \\ & \text { Let } x=\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \\ & \vec{c}=\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}}(-3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k}) \\ & \text { or } \vec{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(-\hat{i}+\hat{k})\end{aligned}$

Hence, the answer is option (4).

Question 8: Let the three sides of a triangle $A B C$ be given by the vectors $2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}, \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$ and $3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}$. Let G be the centroid of the triangle ABC . Then $6\left(|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AG}}|^2+|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{BG}}|^2+|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{CG}}|^2\right)$ is equal to ______

Solution:

The position vector of a point is usually taken from the origin. If a point $ A $ is at the origin, then $ \vec{A} = \vec{0} $.

For two points $ A $ and $ B $, the vector $ \vec{AB} $ is given by:
$
\vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}
$

The centroid $ G $ of a triangle with vertices having position vectors $ \vec{A}, \vec{B}, \vec{C} $ is:
$
\vec{G} = \frac{\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C}}{3}
$

The vector from point $ A $ to centroid $ G $ is:
$
\vec{AG} = \vec{G} - \vec{A}
$

The square of the magnitude (length) of a vector $ \vec{v} = a\hat{i} + b\hat{j} + c\hat{k} $ is:
$
|\vec{v}|^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2
$

Hello murali

No, your son is not eligible for OBC NCL for IIT JEE because you fall in the "creamy layer" occupational category, regardless of your current employment status or family income. Students whose family income is less than Rs. 8 lakhs annually and they are not belong to the "creamy layer".

Note -

  • Children of professionals like doctors, lawyers, and engineers, as well as government officials in Group A and Group B services, are generally considered in the "Creamy layer" category.
  • Your current unemployment does not change your occupational status. The eligibility is based on your profession, not your current job status.

Thank You

Hello,

You can fill the JEE Main form even if you are a private candidate

Write the name of the school/board from where you are appearing as a private candidate .
If your Class 12 admit card or registration slip shows a school/centre name, use that exactly.

If your board lists you as a “Private Candidate” under the board name , then write:

CBSE – Private Candidate
(or your board name – Private Candidate)

Use the pin code of the examination centre/school mentioned on your Class 12 private candidate admit card or registration details.

If your board does not give any school address and only shows the regional office address, then use the regional office address pin code given by your board.

Hope it helps !

Hello Aspirant

You should not leave the OBC-NCL certificate ID blank in the JEE Main form it can create problems later.

NTA wants the certificate details while filling the form, not just at counselling. If you can, apply for the OBC-NCL certificate immediately so you get the ID on time.

If you fail to submit the certificate during counselling, your category will shift to General. It’s safer to enter OBC-NCL only if you’re sure you’ll get the certificate before counselling.

Hope it will help you
