JEE Main 2025 · 23 Jan · Shift 1 · Cross Product
Two particles are located at equal distance from origin. The position vectors of those are represented by A ⃗ = 2 i ^ + 3 n j ^ + 2 k ^ {\vec{A}}=2{\hat{i}}+3n{\hat{j}}+2{\hat{k}} A = 2 i ^ + 3 n j ^ + 2 k ^ and B ˉ = 2 i ^ − 2 j ^ + 4 p k ^ {\bar{B}}=2{\hat{i}}-2{\hat{j}}+4p{\hat{k}} B ˉ = 2 i ^ − 2 j ^ + 4 p k ^ , respectively. If both the vectors are at right angle to each other, the value of n − 1 n^{{-1}} n − 1 is ________ .

JEE Main 2023 · 25 Jan · Shift 1 · Resolution of Vectors
If P ⃗ = 3 i ^ + 3 j ^ + 2 k ^ \vec{P}=3{\hat{i}}+\sqrt{3}{\hat{j}}+2{\hat{k}} P = 3 i ^ + 3 j ^ + 2 k ^ and Q ⃗ = 4 i ^ + 3 j ^ + 2.5 k ^ \vec{Q}=4{\hat{i}}+\sqrt{3}{\hat{j}}+2.5{\hat{k}} Q = 4 i ^ + 3 j ^ + 2.5 k ^ then, the unit vector in the direction of P ⃗ × Q ⃗ \vec{P}\times \vec{Q} P × Q is 1 x ( 3 i ^ + j ^ − 2 3 k ^ ) {\frac{1}{x}}\left({\sqrt{3}{\hat{i}}+{\hat{j}}-2\sqrt{3}{\hat{k}}}\right) x 1 ( 3 i ^ + j ^ − 2 3 k ^ ) . The value of x x x is _________.
