    If \[\vec{a}.\hat{i}=\vec{a}.\left( \hat{i}+\hat{j} \right)=\vec{a}.\left( \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} \right)=1\] then \[\vec{a}\] is equal to

    A)  \[\hat{i}+\hat{j}\]                                          

    B)  \[\hat{i}-\hat{k}\]

    C)  \[\hat{i}\]                                          

    D)  \[\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let  \[\vec{a}={{a}_{1}}\,\hat{i}+{{a}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{a}_{3}}\hat{k}\] Given,  \[\vec{a}.\hat{i}=\vec{a}.(\hat{i}+\hat{j})=\vec{a}.(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{a}_{1}}={{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}={{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}+{{a}_{3}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{a}_{1}}=1,{{a}_{2}}=0,{{a}_{3}}=0\] \[\therefore \]  s\[\vec{a}=\hat{i}\]
