If $$A,B$$ and $$C$$ are vectors such that $$\left| B \right| = \left| C \right|.$$ Prove that
$$\left[ {\left( {A + B} \right) \times \left( {A + C} \right)} \right] \times \left( {B \times C} \right)\left( {B + C} \right) = 0\,\,.$$
Answer
(E)
The provided equation simplifies to 0 due to properties of the cross product and scalar triple product. The expression involves cross products and a scalar triple product (dot product of a cross product). By expanding and using vector identities, especially the fact that a scalar triple product with two identical vectors is zero, the entire expression simplifies to 0.

For each natural number k, let $${C_k}$$ denote the circle with radius k centimetres and centre at the origin. On the circle $${C_k}$$, a-particle moves k centimetres in the counter-clockwise direction. After completing its motion on $${C_k}$$, the particle moves to $${C_{k + 1}}$$ in the radial direction. The motion of the patticle continues in the manner. The particle starts at (1, 0). If the particle crosses the positive direction of the x-axis for the first time on the circle $${C_n}$$ then n = ..............
