 If a,b and c are three non-coplannar vectors , then (a+b-c).[(a-b) x(b-c) equals


A) 0

B) a.b x c

C) a.c x b

D) 3 a.b x c

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 [a+b-c}.[(a-b) x(b-c)

=(a+b-c).[a x b-a x c- bx b+ b x c]

= a.(a x b)-a.(a x c)+a.(b x c)+b.

(a x b)-b(a x c)+b. (b x c)- c.(a x b)+ c.( a x c)-c.(b x c)

= a.(b x c)-b .(a x c)-c. (a x b)

 =[a b c ] -[b a c]-[c a b]

=[a b c]+[a b c]-[a b c]

=[a b c]= a.(b x c)
