An unit vector perpendicular to both $\hat{\mathrm{i}} + \hat{\mathrm{j}} \mathrm{and} \hat{\mathrm{j}} + \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ is :

• $\hat{\mathrm{i}} - \hat{\mathrm{j}} + \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

If $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}$ are any three vectors, then $\left[\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} + \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} + \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} + \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}\right]$ is equal to

If the vectors $3\hat{\mathrm{i}} + \mathrm{\lambda }\hat{\mathrm{j}} + \hat{\mathrm{k}} \mathrm{and} 2\hat{\mathrm{i}} - \hat{\mathrm{j}} + 8\hat{\mathrm{k}}$ are perpendicular, then $\mathrm{\lambda }$ is :

If $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} = 0$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} . \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}$ = 0, then :

• $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} = \overrightarrow{0} \mathrm{and} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} = \overrightarrow{0}$

• $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} = \overrightarrow{0} \mathrm{or} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} = \overrightarrow{0}$
