JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2003 - No. 30)
$$\overrightarrow a \,,\overrightarrow b \,,\overrightarrow c $$ are $$3$$ vectors, such that
$$\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c = 0$$ , $$\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = 1\,\,\,\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right| = 2,\,\,\,\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right| = 3,$$,
then $${\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a }$$ is equal to :
$$\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c = 0$$ , $$\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = 1\,\,\,\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right| = 2,\,\,\,\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right| = 3,$$,
then $${\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a }$$ is equal to :
$$1$$
$$0$$
$$-7$$
$$7$$
Explanation
$$\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow \left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right).\left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right) = 0$$
$${\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|^2} + 2\left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a } \right) = 0$$
$$\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a = {{ - 1 - 4 - 9} \over 2}$$
$$ = - 7$$
$$ \Rightarrow \left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right).\left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right) = 0$$
$${\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|^2} + 2\left( {\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a } \right) = 0$$
$$\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow c .\overrightarrow a = {{ - 1 - 4 - 9} \over 2}$$
$$ = - 7$$
