MCQ
For any two vectors $a $ and  $b$ , ${(a \times b)^2}$ is equal to
  • A
    ${a^2} - {b^2}$
  • B
    ${a^2} + {b^2}$
  • ${a^2}{b^2} - {(a\,.\,b)^2}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
${a^2}{b^2} - {(a\,.\,b)^2}$
c
(c) ${(a \times b)^2} = (a \times b)\,.\,(a \times b) = (ab\sin \theta \,\hat n)(ab\sin \theta \,\hat n)$

$ = {a^2}{b^2}{\sin ^2}\theta = {a^2}{b^2}(1 - {\cos ^2}\theta )$

$ = {a^2}{b^2} - {a^2}{b^2}{\cos ^2}\theta = {a^2}{b^2} - {(a\,.\,b)^2}.$
