    If \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,=2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\] and \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{c}}\,=-\hat{i}+2\hat{k}\] then \[|\overset{\to }{\mathop{c}}\,|.\overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,\] is equal to:

    A) \[2\sqrt{5}\hat{i}+2\sqrt{5}\hat{j}+\sqrt{5}\hat{k}\]

    B) \[2\sqrt{5}\hat{i}-2\sqrt{5}\hat{j}+\sqrt{5}\hat{k}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{5}\hat{i}+\sqrt{5}\hat{j}+\sqrt{5}\hat{k}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{5}\hat{i}+2\sqrt{5}\hat{j}+\sqrt{5}\hat{k}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] If \[\vec{a}=2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}\] and \[\vec{c}=-\hat{i}+2\hat{k}\] \[|\vec{c}|=\sqrt{{{(-1)}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}}=\sqrt{1+4}=\sqrt{5}\] \[|\vec{c}|.\vec{a}=\sqrt{5}.(2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k})\] \[\therefore \,\,|\vec{c}|.\vec{a}=2\sqrt{5}\hat{i}-2\sqrt{5}\hat{j}+\sqrt{5}\hat{k}\]
