Find a unit vector perpendicular to both vectors a = î + ĵ + k̂ and b = î + ĵ.

  • A. (î − ĵ)/√2
  • B. (−î + ĵ)/√2
  • C.
  • D. Both A and B

Answer: D) Both A and B

Explanation: Cross product a × b = î(0−1) − ĵ(0−1) + k̂(1−1) = −î + ĵ. Magnitude = √2. Unit vector = ±(−î + ĵ)/√2. Both (î − ĵ)/√2 and (−î + ĵ)/√2 are valid unit vectors.
