Answer: Option C. -> (−43,0)
:
C
For the vectors ⃗a and ⃗bto be inclined at an obtuse angle, we must have
⃗a.⃗b<0 for all x∈(0,∞)
⇒c(log2x)2−12+6c(log2x)<0 for all x∈(0,∞)
⇒cy2+6cy−12<0 for all y∈R, where y=log2x
⇒c<0 and ⇒36c2+48c<0⇒c<0and c(3c+4)<0
⇒c<0 and −43<c<0
⇒c∈(−43,0)

Answer: Option A. -> -4
:
A
Since,⃗a=2^i+3^j+^k,⃗b=2^i+p^j+3^k and ⃗c=2^i+17^j+3^k are coplanar,
therefore [⃗a⃗b⃗c]=∣∣

Answer: Option B. -> 4
:
B
⃗OA=2^i+^j+^k,⃗OB=6^i−^j+2^k,⃗OC=14^i−5^j+P^k⇒⃗AB=⃗OB−⃗OA=4^i−2^j+^k,⃗AC=⃗OC−⃗OA=12^i−6^j+(p−1)^k
A, B, C are collinear ⇒⃗AC=λ⃗AB⇒12^i−6^j+(p−1)^k=λ(4^i−2^j+^k)
⇒λ=3,p−1=3⇒p=4.

Answer: Option A. -> ±(53(^i−7^j+2^k)
:
A
The required vector →C is given by
→C=λ(^a+^b)=λ(→a|→a|+→b|→b|)=λ{19(7^i−4^j−4^k)+13(−2^i−^j+2^k)}
⇒→c=λ9(^i−7^j+2^k)⇒|→c|=±λ9√1+49+4=±λ9√54
But |→c|=5√6 (given)
∴±λ9√54=5√6⇒λ=±15
Hence, →c=±159(^i−7^j+2^k)=±53(^i−7^j+2^k)
