                    The vector                 \[\left( \hat{i}\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,.\overset{\to }{\mathop{b}}\, \right)\hat{i}+\left( \hat{j}\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,.\overset{\to }{\mathop{b}}\, \right)\hat{j}+(\hat{k}\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{a.}}\,\overset{\to }{\mathop{b}}\,)\hat{j}\] \[+(\hat{k}\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,.\overset{\to }{\mathop{b}}\,)\hat{k}\]                 is equal to                   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2013)

    A)                 \[\vec{b}\times \vec{a}\]                

    B)                 \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,\]                                             

    C)                 \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{a}}\,\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{b}}\,\]                

    D)                 \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{b}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[(\hat{i}\times a.b)\hat{i}+(\hat{j}\times a.b)\hat{j}+(\hat{k}\times a.b)\hat{k}\]\[=[\,\hat{i}\,ab\,]\hat{i}+[\hat{j}\,a\,b]\hat{j}+[\hat{k}\,a\,b]\hat{k}\] Let          \[a={{a}_{1}}\hat{i}+{{a}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{a}_{3}}\hat{k}\]                 \[b={{b}_{1}}\hat{i}+{{b}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{b}_{3}}\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[[\hat{i}\cdot \,ab]=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    {{a}_{1}} & {{a}_{2}} & {{a}_{3}}  \\    {{b}_{1}} & {{b}_{2}} & {{b}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=({{a}_{2}}{{b}_{3}}-{{b}_{2}}{{a}_{3}})\] and        \[[\hat{j}\,ab]=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    {{a}_{1}} & {{a}_{2}} & {{a}_{3}}  \\    {{b}_{1}} & {{b}_{2}} & {{b}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=({{a}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}-{{b}_{2}}{{a}_{1}})\] \[\therefore \]  \[[i\,ab]\hat{i}+[\hat{j}\,ab]\hat{j}\,[\hat{k}\,ab]\hat{k}\]                 \[=({{a}_{2}}{{b}_{3}}-{{b}_{2}}{{a}_{3}})\hat{i}+({{b}_{1}}{{a}_{3}}-{{a}_{1}}{{b}_{3}})\hat{j}+({{a}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}-{{a}_{2}}{{b}_{1}})\hat{k}\]                 \[=a\times b\]
