Let a = 4i - j + 3k, b = - 2i + j - 2k and c = xi + yj + zk
Given, a . c = 0
i.e., 4x - y + 3z = 0 ...(i)
and b . c = 0
i.e., 2x + y - 2z = 0 ...(ii)
Also, = 9
i.e., x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 ...(iii)
Now, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
2x + z = 0 z = - 2x
On putting this value in Eq. (iii), we get
x2 + y2 + 4x2 = 81
⇒ 5x2 + y2 = 81 ...(iv)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and Eq. (ii) by 3 and then adding, we get
On putting this value in Eq. (iv), we get
5x2 + 4x2 = 81
