    If the volume of a parallelepiped with \[\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b},\text{ }\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c},\text{ }\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a}\] as cotermmus edges is\[9\text{ }cu\]units, then the volume of the parallelepiped with \[(a\times b)\times (b\times c),(b\times c)\times (c\times a),\] \[(c\times a)\times (a\times b)\]as coterminus edges is

    A)  9 cu unit             

    B)  729 cu unit

    C)  81 cu unit     

    D)         27 cu unit

    E)  243 cu unit

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[\overrightarrow{A}=\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b},\overrightarrow{B}=\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{c},\overrightarrow{C}=\overrightarrow{c}\times \overrightarrow{a}\] Given, \[[\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{C}]=9\,cu\,unit\] Now, \[[\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}\,\,\,\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{C}\,\,\,\overrightarrow{C}\times \overrightarrow{A}]\] \[=(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}).[(\,\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{C})\times (\,\,\overrightarrow{C}\times \overrightarrow{A})]\] \[=(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}).[[(\,\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{C}).\overrightarrow{A}]\overrightarrow{C}-[(\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{C}).\,\,\overrightarrow{C}]\overrightarrow{A}]\] \[=(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}).[[(\,\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{C}\overrightarrow{A}]\overrightarrow{C}-0]\] \[={{[\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{C}]}^{2}}={{9}^{2}}\] \[=81\text{ }cu\text{ }unit\]
