    \[\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k},\,\,\,\,\,\vec{b}=-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] and \[\vec{c}=2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}-3\hat{k},\]then \[(\vec{b}+\vec{c}).\vec{a}\times \{(\vec{b}+\vec{c})\times \vec{a}\}\] is equal to

    A)  \[9\]               

    B)  \[21\]

    C)  \[13\]              

    D)  \[7\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] \[\hat{b}=-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] \[\vec{c}=2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}-3\hat{k}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(\vec{b}\,+\,\vec{c})=\hat{i}\] and \[(\vec{b}\,+\vec{c})\times \vec{a}\,=\hat{i}\,\times (\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\] \[=2\hat{k}-3\hat{j}\] \[\left( \begin{align}   & \because \,\,\,\hat{i}\times \hat{j}=\hat{k}, \\  & \hat{i}\times \hat{k}=-\hat{j} \\ \end{align} \right)\] Now,  \[\vec{a}\,\times \,\{(\vec{b}\,\,+\,\vec{c})\times \vec{a}\}\] \[=\hat{i}.\,(13\,\hat{i}-2\hat{j}-3\hat{k})\] \[=13\]
