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 A⃗=2i^+3nj^+2k^{\vec{A}}=2{\hat{i}}+3n{\hat{j}}+2{\hat{k}} and Bˉ=2i^−2j^+4pk^{\bar{B}}=2{\hat{i}}-2{\hat{j}}+4p{\hat{k}}, respectively. If both the vectors are at right angle to each other, the value of n−1n^{{-1}} is ________ .
