Mathematics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 11 April, Shift 1

Let a\mathbf{a} be a non-zero vector parallel to the line of intersection of the two planes described by i^+j^\hat{i} + \hat{j}, i^+k^\hat{i} + \hat{k} and i^j^\hat{i} - \hat{j}, i^k^\hat{i} - \hat{k}. If θ\theta is the angle between the vector a\mathbf{a} and the vector b=2i^2j^+k^\mathbf{b} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} and ab=6\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = 6, then the ordered pair (θ,a×b)\left( \theta, |\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}| \right) is equal to:

  • A

    (π3,6)\left( \frac{\pi}{3}, 6 \right)

  • B

    (π4,36)\left( \frac{\pi}{4}, 3\sqrt{6} \right)

  • C

    (π3,36)\left( \frac{\pi}{3}, 3\sqrt{6} \right)

  • D

    (π4,6)\left( \frac{\pi}{4}, 6 \right)
