Question
If a=^i+^j+^k,b=2^i^j+^k and c=^i+x^j+y^k, are linearly dependent and |c|=3 then (x,y) is
Options:
A .  (1,1)
B .  (−2,0)
C .  (15,75)
D .  (−75,35)
Answer: Option A
:
A
Given that the three vectors are linearly dependent so
c=la+mb
l+2m=1
lm=x
x=3y2
l+m=y
Also, x2+y2+1=3
10y212y+2=0
y=1,15
x=1,75
