If the volume of the parallelepiped with `a x b`, `b x c`, and `c x a` on coterminous edges is 9 cu. Unit, then the volume of the parallelepiped with `(a x b) x (b x c)`, `(b x c) x (c x a)`, and `(c x a) x (a x b)` on conterievinans edges is :
Let's denote the vectors as \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \) and \(\vec{c}\). Volume of the First Parallelepiped The volume of the parallelepiped formed by vectors \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}, \vec{b} \times \vec{c},\) and \(\vec{c} \times \vec{a}\) can be expressed as the scalar triple product of these vectors:Read more
Let’s denote the vectors as \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \) and \(\vec{c}\).
Volume of the First Parallelepiped
The volume of the parallelepiped formed by vectors \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}, \vec{b} \times \vec{c},\) and \(\vec{c} \times \vec{a}\) can be expressed as the scalar triple product of these vectors:
\[
\text{Volume} = [(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot ((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}))]
\]
Using the vector triple product identity, \(\vec{A} \times (\vec{B} \times \vec{C}) = \vec{B}(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C}) – \vec{C}(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B})\), we can simplify the expression:
\[
\text{Volume} = [(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{b}(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}) – \vec{a}(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}))]
\]
Expanding further:
\[
\text{Volume} = [(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{b}(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a})] – [(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{a}(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{b})]
\]
Since \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{b} = 0\) and \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{a} = 0\) (as the cross product is perpendicular to both vectors), the volume of the first parallelepiped is 0.
Volume of the Second Parallelepiped
For the second parallelepiped, we have the vectors \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\), \((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times(\vec{c} \times \vec{a})\), and \((\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) \times(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})\). The volume can be similarly expressed as the scalar triple product:
\[
\text{Volume} = [((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})) \cdot (((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times(\vec{c} \times \vec{a})) \times ((\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) \times(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})))]
\]
Using the same vector triple product identity and the fact that the cross product of any two vectors is perpendicular to both, we can deduce that the volume of the second parallelepiped is also 0.
In summary, the volume of the second parallelepiped with \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\), \((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times(\vec{c} \times \vec{a})\), and \((\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) \times(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})\) on coterminal edges is \(0 \, \mathrm{cu. \, units}\).

Therefore, Correct option is (d).
See lessIf a+b+c=3, a^2+b^2+c^2=6, and 1/a+1/b+1/c=1, where a, b, c are all non-zero, then ‘abc’ is equal to (a) 2/3 (b) 3/2 (c) 1/2 (d) 1/3

Given the system of equations:
1. \(a + b + c = 3\)
2. \(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 6\)
3. \(\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = 1\)
We want to find the value of \(abc\).
To solve this, let’s first analyze the given information. The third equation can be written as:
\[
\frac{ab + ac + bc}{abc} = 1
\]
From this, we get:
\[
ab + ac + bc = abc
\]
From the first equation, we know the sum of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\). To find \(ab + ac + bc\), we can square the first equation and compare it to the second equation. Squaring the first equation gives us:
\[
(a + b + c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + ac + bc) = 3^2 = 9
\]
Given \(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 6\) from the second equation, we can substitute that into our squared first equation to find \(ab + ac + bc\):
\[
6 + 2(ab + ac + bc) = 9
\]
Solving for \(ab + ac + bc\):
\[
2(ab + ac + bc) = 3
\]
\[
ab + ac + bc = \frac{3}{2}
\]
Given \(ab + ac + bc = abc\), we have:
\[
abc = \frac{3}{2}
\]
Therefore, the value of \(abc\) is \(\frac{3}{2}\).
Answer: (b) \(\frac{3}{2}\).
See lessIn an examination, a boy was asked to multiply a given number by 7/19. By mistake, he divided the given number by 7/19 and got a result 624 more than the correct answer. The sum of digits of the given number is (a) 10 (b) 11 (c) 13 (d) 14
Let the given number be \(x\).

Let the given number be \(x\). According to the problem:
– The correct operation was to multiply \(x\) by \(\frac{7}{19}\): \(x \times \frac{7}{19}\).
– By mistake, the boy divided \(x\) by \(\frac{7}{19}\), which is equivalent to multiplying \(x\) by \(\frac{19}{7}\): \(x \times \frac{19}{7}\).
– The mistake led to a result that was 624 more than the correct answer.
Thus, we have:
\[
x \times \frac{19}{7} = x \times \frac{7}{19} + 624
\]
Rearrange the equation to isolate \(x\):
\[
x \times \frac{19}{7} – x \times \frac{7}{19} = 624
\]
Factoring \(x\) out:
\[
x \left(\frac{19}{7} – \frac{7}{19}\right) = 624
\]
To solve for \(x\), simplify the expression in the parentheses:
\[
x \left(\frac{19^2 – 7^2}{7 \times 19}\right) = 624
\]
Calculate the difference of squares:
\[
19^2 – 7^2 = (19 + 7)(19 – 7) = 26 \times 12 = 312
\]
Substitute back into the equation:
\[
x \left(\frac{312}{7 \times 19}\right) = 624
\]
Simplify the fraction:
\[
x \left(\frac{312}{133}\right) = 624
\]
Solving for \(x\):
\[
x = 624 \times \frac{133}{312} = 2 \times 133 = 266
\]
The sum of the digits of the given number \(266\) is \(2 + 6 + 6 = 14\).
Answer: (d) 14.

If a+b+c=0, find the value of (a+b)/c-2b/(c+a)+(b+c)/a. (a) 0 (b) 1 (c) -1 (d) 2
Given the equation \(a + b + c = 0\), we can solve for one of the variables in terms of the others. Without loss of generality, let's solve for \(c\): \[ c = -a - b \] Substituting this into the given expression: \[ \frac{a+b}{c} - \frac{2b}{c+a} + \frac{b+c}{a} = \frac{a+b}{-a-b} - \frac{2b}{-a-b+aRead more
Given the equation \(a + b + c = 0\), we can solve for one of the variables in terms of the others. Without loss of generality, let’s solve for \(c\):
\[
c = -a – b
\]
Substituting this into the given expression:
\[
\frac{a+b}{c} – \frac{2b}{c+a} + \frac{b+c}{a} = \frac{a+b}{-a-b} – \frac{2b}{-a-b+a} + \frac{b-a-b}{a}
\]
This simplifies further to:
\[
\frac{a+b}{-a-b} – \frac{2b}{-b} + \frac{-a}{a}
\]
Since \(\frac{a+b}{-a-b} = -1\) (because the numerator is the negation of the denominator), and \(\frac{-a}{a} = -1\), the expression further simplifies to:
\[
-1 + \frac{2b}{b} – 1 = -1 + 2 – 1
\]
\[
= 2 – 2 = 0
\]
Thus, the value of the given expression, under the condition that \(a + b + c = 0\), is \(0\).
Answer: (a) 0.

To find the smallest positive integer that, when multiplied by 392, yields a perfect square, we first need to factorize 392 to understand its prime factorization.
Prime Factorization of 392
\[
392 = 2^3 \times 7^2
\]
For a number to be a perfect square, all the exponents in its prime factorization must be even. In the prime factorization of 392, the exponent of 2 is 3 (which is odd), and the exponent of 7 is 2 (which is even).
Finding the Smallest Positive Integer
To make the number a perfect square, we need to multiply it by a number that will make all the exponents even. Since the exponent of 2 is odd, we need to multiply 392 by another 2 to make the exponent of 2 become \(3 + 1 = 4\), which is even.
\[
392 \times 2 = 2^4 \times 7^2
\]
Now, the prime factorization \(2^4 \times 7^2\) indicates a perfect square because both exponents are even.
Conclusion
The smallest positive integer that, when multiplied by 392, yields a perfect square is \(2\).
Answer: (a) 2.
