JAMIA 2024 — Mathematics PYQ
JAMIA | Mathematics | 2024The scalar product of 5i + j – 3k and 3i – 4j + 7k is:
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
15
- B.
-15
- C.
10
- D.
-10
(Correct Answer)
-10
Explanation
Given Vectors
Let the vectors be:
a=5i^+j^−3k^
b=3i^−4j^+7k^
Step 1: Scalar Product Formula
The scalar product a⋅b is calculated as:
a⋅b=(ax×bx)+(ay×by)+(az×bz)
Step 2: Calculation
Substitute the components from the vectors:
a⋅b=(5×3)+(1×−4)+(−3×7)
a⋅b=15−4−21
a⋅b=11−21
a⋅b=−10
Final Answer
The scalar product is:
−10
