Question
$\text{If }\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{7k}};\text{ and }\overrightarrow{b}=\hat{\text{5i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\lambda\hat{\text{k}},$ then find the value of $\lambda,$ so that $\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}$ are perpendicular vectors.

Answer

Here $\text{If }\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{7k}};\text{ }\overrightarrow{b}=\hat{\text{5i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\lambda\hat{\text{k}},$$\therefore \overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}=6\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{(7}+\lambda)\hat{\text{k}};\text{ } \overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}=-4\hat{\text{i}}+\text{(7}-\lambda)\hat{\text{k}}$
$\therefore\text{ }\overrightarrow{(a}+\overrightarrow{b)}\text{ is perpendicular to }\overrightarrow{(a}-\overrightarrow{b)}$
$\Rightarrow \text{ }\overrightarrow{(a}+\overrightarrow{b)}.\overrightarrow{(a}-\overrightarrow{b)}=0\text{ }\Rightarrow \text{ -24 + (7}+\lambda).\text{(7} - \lambda)=0$
$\Rightarrow$ –24 + 49 – $\lambda^2 $ = 0 $\Rightarrow$ $\lambda^2 $ = 25
$\Rightarrow$ $\lambda $ = ± 5.

A wholesale dealer deals in two kinds, $A$ and $B$ (say) of mixture of nuts. Each kg of mixture $A$ contains $60$ grams of almonds, $30$ grams of cashew nuts and $30$ grams of hazel nuts. Each kg of mixture $B$ contains $30$ grams of almonds, $60$ grams of cashew nuts and $180$ grams of hazel nuts. The remainder of both mixtures is per nuts. The dealer is contemplating to use mixtures $A$ and $B$ to make a bag which will contain at least $240$ grams of almonds, $300$ grams of cashew nuts and $540$ grams of hazel nuts. Mixture $A$ costs Rs. $8$ per kg. and mixture $B$ costs Rs. $12$ per kg. Assuming that mixtures A and B are uniform, use graphical method to determine the number of kg . of each mixture which he should use to minimise the cost of the bag.
