-
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (3)Explanation
The given lines are described as "parallel" if they do not intersect and are always the same distance apart. They are described as "intersecting" if they cross each other at a point. They are described as "skew" if they do not intersect and are not parallel. They are described as "perpendicular" if they intersect at a right angle. Therefore, since the given lines do not intersect and are not parallel, the correct answer is (3) "skew".Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. (4)Explanation
The magnitude of a vector product of two vectors is given by the product of their magnitudes multiplied by the sine of the angle between them. In this case, the magnitude of vector A is a, the magnitude of vector B is b, and the magnitude of vector C is c. The vector product of A and B is given by |A x B| = ab*sin(theta), where theta is the angle between A and B. Since A, B, and C are mutually perpendicular, the angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, sin(theta) = sin(90) = 1. Thus, |A x B| = ab*1 = ab. Similarly, |A x C| = ac and |B x C| = bc. Therefore, the value of |A x B| + |A x C| + |B x C| = ab + ac + bc, which corresponds to option (4).Rate this question:

The projection of on a unit vector equals thrice the area of parallelogram . Then is (1) (2) (3) (4)
-
(1)
-
(2)
-
(3)
-
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (1)Explanation
If the projection of vector a on unit vector b equals thrice the area of parallelogram P, it means that the magnitude of the projection of a on b is three times the magnitude of the area of P. This implies that the projection of a on b is three times the length of the base of P multiplied by its height. Therefore, the projection of a on b is equal to 3bh, where b is the base and h is the height of P. Hence, the correct answer is (1).Rate this question:

-
(1)
-
(2)
-
(3)
-
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (4)Explanation
The correct answer is (4) because if a line makes angles with the positive directions of both the x and y axes, then it is in the xy-plane. The z-axis is perpendicular to the xy-plane, so the line would make a 90-degree angle with the z-axis.Rate this question:

-
(1)
-
(2)
-
(3)
-
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (4)Explanation
The correct answer is (4) because if two vectors are perpendicular to each other, their dot product is equal to zero. In this case, if vector a is perpendicular to vector b, then a · b = 0. Therefore, the unit vector perpendicular to both a and b can be found by taking the cross product of a and b and then normalizing it to have a magnitude of 1.Rate this question:

-
(1)
-
(2)

(3)
-
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (3)Explanation
The equation of a sphere is given by (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 + (z - l)^2 = r^2, where (h, k, l) is the center of the sphere and r is the radius.
In option (3), the center of the sphere is (3, -4, 5) and the radius is 7. Therefore, the equation of the sphere is (x - 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2 + (z - 5)^2 = 49.
This matches the given equation, so option (3) is the correct answer.Rate this question:

-
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (1)Explanation
The correct answer is (1) because the point of intersection of two lines can be determined by solving the system of equations formed by the two lines. Without any specific equations given for the lines, it is not possible to determine the exact coordinates of the point of intersection.Rate this question:

A. (2)Explanation
The magnitude of the vector sum of two vectors is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of their magnitudes. Therefore, the magnitude of the vector C is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the magnitudes of vectors A and B. This is represented by option (2) in the given answer choices.Rate this question:

A. (2)Explanation
If the magnitude of moment about a point of a force acting through the point is zero, it means that the force is either not acting at all or is acting in such a way that its line of action passes through the point. In other words, the force is not creating any rotational effect on the point. Therefore, the value of the magnitude of the moment is zero.Rate this question:
