    \[{{(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}\]is equal to:

    A)  \[\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{a}}\,+\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{b}}\,-(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b})\]

    B)  \[\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{a}}\,+\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{b}}\,-{{(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{a}}\,+\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{b}}\,-2\,\,\overrightarrow{a}\,\,.\,\,\overrightarrow{b}\]

    D)  \[\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{a}}\,+\overset{{{\to }^{2}}}{\mathop{b}}\,-2\,\,\overrightarrow{a}\,\,.\,\,\overrightarrow{b}\]

    E)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\therefore \]\[{{(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}+{{(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}\] \[=({{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )+({{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )\] \[={{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}({{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )={{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{(\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}={{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}\,\,\,{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}-{{(\overrightarrow{a}\,\,.\,\,\,\overrightarrow{b})}^{2}}\]
