Jee Main 2025 — Medium JEE math MCQ
Let \( \vec{a} \) be a unit vector perpendicular to the vectors \( \vec{b} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \) and \( \vec{c} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k} \), and makes an angle of \( \cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \) with the vector \( \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \). If \( \vec{a} \) makes an angle of \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) with the vector \( \hat{i} + \alpha\hat{j} + \hat{k} \), then the value of \( \alpha \) is
- A. \( \sqrt{6} \)
- B. \( -\sqrt{6} \)
- C. \( -\sqrt{3} \)
- D. \( \sqrt{3} \)
Solution
The correct option is **B**. (B. \( -\sqrt{6} \))
