m putting this question on behalf of "Karthik-abhiram"... pls solve this for him
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The position vectors a,b,c and d {all in vectors} of four points A,B,C and D
 
on a plane are such that
 
(a-d).(b-c)=(b-d).(c-a)=0,    {all in vectors}
 
then the pont D is
 
1]centroid of ABC
 
2] ortho centre of ABC
 
3]circumcentre  of ABC
 
4]None of these.
 
plzz help ,and  post a detailed solution plz and i want theoritical proof plzz as it would increase our mind to think better for other problems like these

Hey the answer is orthocentre option (2)
check that first of all, in all options u hav triangle ABC.....
so, keep it as fixed....
now, try for the positions of D...
the given equations imply that AD.BC=0 and BD.AC=0 (. means doy product)
so, AD and BC are perpendicular and so are BD and AC.....
for a given triangle ABC, this is possible only with the orthocentre.....
 
 
hope m clear...
thank u...

Hello karthik_abiram
 
Most of the problems in the vector algebra are ended with only three major things
 
 
1.  A line vector      A (a) and B (b) are two vectors then their line vector AB is b-a
 
2. Dot product of two vectors  a.b = |a||b| cos t 
 
Special cases of the dot product

Since i and j and k are all one unit in length and they are all mutually perpendicular, we have
i.i = j.j = k.k = 1
and i.j = j.i = i.k = k.i = j.k = k.j = 0. 
As cos 0 =1
 
3. Cross Product
If we let the angle between A and B be , then the cross product of A and B can be expressed as
    A x B = A B sin()
    Same way sin90=1 so you can calculate the different unit vaectors.
