A man runs due North at the rate of 20 km/h and the wind blows fromthe East at the rate of 15km/h. Then, the velocity of the wind relative to the man will be
2km/h
3 km/h
25 km/h
None of these
The points with position vectors 60i + 3j, 40i - 8 j and ai - 52j are collinear, if
a = - 40
a = 40
a = - 20
a = 20

a = - 40
Given that the points with position vectors 60i + 3j, 40i - 8j and ai - 52j are collinear, then there exist three scalars 1, x and y such that
1 + x + y = 0 ...(i)
and (60i + 3j) . 1 + (40i - 8j) . x + (ai - 52j) . y = 0
(60 + 40x + ay)i + (3 - 8x - 52y)j = 0
= 0i + 0j
Comparing both sides, we get
60 + 40x + ay = 0 ...(i)
and 3 - 8x - 52y = 0 ...(iii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get
Then, from Eq. (ii),
If a, b and c are non-coplanar vectors and , q = and , then a . p + b . q + c . r is equal to
