Mathematics Question on Vector Algebra

Let a\vec{a} and b\vec{b} be two vectors, Let a=1,b=4|\vec{a}|=1,|\vec{b}|=4 and ab=2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=2 If c=(2a×b)3b\vec{c}=(2 \vec{a} \times \vec{b})-3 \vec{b}, then the value of bc\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} is

A

60-60

B

48-48

C

84-84

D

24-24

Answer

48-48

Explanation

Solution

c=(2a×b)−3b
b⋅c=b⋅(2a×b)−3b⋅b
=−3∣b∣2
=−48
So, the correct answer is (B) : -48
