    The value of \[b\] such that scalar product of the vector \[(\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\] with the unit vector parallel to sum of the vectors \[(2\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+4\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-5\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\] and \[(b\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+3\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\] is\[1\], is

    A) \[-2\]                                    

    B)  \[-1\]

    C) \[0\]                                     

    D)  \[1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Parallel vector\[=(2+b)\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+6\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-2\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\] Unit vector\[=\frac{(2+b)\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+6\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-2\widehat{\mathbf{k}}}{\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}+4b+44}}\] According to the question,                 \[1=\frac{(2+b)+6-2}{\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}+4b+44}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{b}^{2}}+4b+44={{b}^{2}}+12b+36\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[8b=8\Rightarrow b=1\]
