    The vector \[\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+x\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+3\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\] is rotated through an angle \[\theta \] and doubled in magnitude, then it becomes\[4\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+(4x-2)\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\]. The value of is:

    A) \[\left\{ -\frac{2}{3},\,\,2 \right\}\]                         

    B) \[\left\{ \frac{1}{3},\,\,2 \right\}\]

    C) \[\left\{ \frac{2}{3},\,\,0 \right\}\]                           

    D) \[\{2,\,\,7\}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have,\[2|\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+x\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+3\widehat{\mathbf{k}}|\]                    \[=|4\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+(4x-2)\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+2\mathbf{\hat{k}}|\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4({{x}^{2}}+10)=20+{{(4x-2)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3{{x}^{2}}-4x-4=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=2,\,\,-\frac{2}{3}\]
