Question 19 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL6 • 2024 • MATHEMATICS • objective

In three‑dimensional space, vectors \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) have magnitudes |\(\mathbf{a}\)| = 3 cm and |\(\mathbf{b}\)| = 4 cm, and the angle between them is 60°. Define \(\mathbf{d} = \mathbf{a} + k\mathbf{b}\) where the scalar k is chosen so that \(\mathbf{d}\) is perpendicular to \(\mathbf{a} - 2\mathbf{b}\). Determine the value of k and then give the magnitude of \(\mathbf{d}\) in simplest radical form.

Answer Options

A. \(k = 3\)/26, |d| = \(21√3\)/13 cm
Correct Answer B. k = \(-3/26\), |d| = \\((21√3/13\)\) cm
C. k = -3/26, |d| = \(14√3\)/13 cm
D. k = -1/2, |d| = \(7√3\)/2 cm
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
k = \(-3/26\), |d| = \\((21√3/13\)\) cm
