Question
If $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|=4,\big|\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big|=2,$ then $|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=$
  1. 6
  2. 2
  3. 20
  4. 8

Answer

  1. 20

Solution:

We know

$\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|62=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2\dots(1)$

$\big|\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big|=2$ (Given)

$\Rightarrow\big|\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2$

From (1), we get

$(2)^2+(4)^2=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$

$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=20$

A ship is fitted with three engines $E_1, E_2$ and $E_3$. The engines function independently of each other with respective probabilities $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$. For the ship to be operational at least two of its engines must function. Let $X$ denote the event that the ship is operational and let $X _1, X _2$ and $X _3$ denotes respectively the events that the engines $E_1 E_2$ and $E_3$ are functioning. Which of the following is (are) true?

$(A)$ $P\left[X_1^c \mid x\right]=\frac{3}{16}$

$(B)$ $P [$ Exactly two engines of the ship are functioning $\mid X ]=\frac{7}{8}$

$(C)$ $P\left[X \mid X_2\right]=\frac{5}{16}$

$(D)$ $P\left[X \mid X_1\right]=\frac{7}{16}$
