    Vectors\[\overrightarrow{a}\]and\[\overrightarrow{b}\]are inclined at an angle\[\theta =120{}^\circ \].If\[|\overrightarrow{a}|=1,|\overrightarrow{b}|=2,\]then \[{{[(\overrightarrow{a}+3\overrightarrow{b})\times (3\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b})]}^{2}}\]is equal to

    A)  190                                       

    B)  275

    C)  300                       

    D)         320

    E)  192

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Given, \[|\overrightarrow{a}|=1,|\overrightarrow{b}|=2\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{[(\overrightarrow{a}+3\overrightarrow{b})\times (3\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b})]}^{2}}\]                 \[={{[0+\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}+9\overrightarrow{b}\times \overrightarrow{a}+0]}^{2}}\]                 \[={{[-8\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}]}^{2}}\]                 \[=64[|\overrightarrow{a}{{|}^{2}}|\overrightarrow{b}{{|}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ]\]                 \[=64[1\times 4\times {{\sin }^{2}}120{}^\circ ]\]                 \[=60\times 4\times \frac{3}{4}\]                 \[=192\]
