| a | = 1  1 = 2 & | b | = 2 . Since the three vectors have equal

length,
 
| c | = 2 . Let c = c1 i + c2 j + c3 k . Then, since c makes an

This gives the equation c1 + c2 = 1 and c2 + c3 = 1, from

which we get c3 = c1 and c2 = 1  c1. Putting these values in
c12 + c22 + c32 = 2, we get
c12 + (1  c1)2 + c12 = 2
 3c12  2c1  1 = 0
 (c1  1) (3c1 + 1) = 0

Since, c1 must be less than zero, we can rule out the solution
c1 = 1, giving
c1 = 1/3 = c3 and c2 = 1  c1 = 4/3. Hence the required vector

We have 3iˆ  2jˆ  5kˆ = p( 2iˆ  ˆj  kˆ ) + q( ˆi  3jˆ  2kˆ ) + r( 2iˆ  ˆj  3kˆ )
 2p + q – 2r = 3, …….. (1)
– p + 3q +r =2,
p – 2q – 3r = –5.
Adding all the equations, we get
2p +2q = 4r i.e. p + q = 2r.
Equation (1) gives p = 3  q = 1, r = 2.
With these values of q, p, r, only (B) is the correct answer.

Since initial point of 2iˆ  3j,ˆ 5iˆ  6jˆ and 8iˆ  ˆj is ˆi  ˆj , their
terminal points will be 3iˆ  4ˆj , 6iˆ  7ˆj and 9iˆ  (  1)ˆj . Now

If ĵ is a unit vector along y– axis, then
