The line passes through the point with position vector, a=2i^j^+4k^(1)

The given vector: b=i^+2j^k^(2)

The line which passes through a point with position vector a and parallel to b is given by,

r=a+λbr=2i^j^+4k^+λ(i^+2j^k^)

 This is required equation of the line in vector form.

Now,

Let r=xi^yj^+zk^xi^yj^+zk^=(λ+2)i^+(2λ1)j^+(λ+4)k^

Comparing the coefficient to eliminate λ ,

x=λ+2,x1=2,a=1y=2λ1,y1=1,b=2z=λ+4,z1=4,c=1

x21=y+12=z41

α = 3

Given | a | = 1 , | b | = 4 , a b = 2

c = 2 ( a × b ) 3 b  

Dot product with  a on both sides

c a = 6 ... (1)

Dot product with  b  on both sides

b c = 4 8 ... (2)

c c = 4 | a × b | 2 + 9 | b | 2

| c | 2 = 4 [ | a | 2 | b | 2 ( a b ) 2 ] + 9 | b | 2

| c | 2 = 4 [ ( 1 ) ( 4 ) 2 ( 4 ) ] + 9 ( 1 6 )
