Questions  

If a and b  are the intersecting face diagonals of a cube of side x  in plane XOY  and YOZ,  respectively, with respect to reference frame at the point of intersection of the vectors and sides of cube as the axes, the components of vector r=a×b  are

     

 

a
x,  −x,  x
b
−x2,  −x2,  x2
c
x2,  −x2,x2
d
x,  x2,  −x

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Here  a→=xi^+xj^   and b→=xj^+xk^  Since R→ = a→×b→  we get  R→=  |i^j^k^xx00xx|  =  x2i^−x2j^+x2k^Clearly, the components are Rx=x2,  Ry=  −x2,​RZ =x2
