answering one by one first question no 1)sol: a.b =(i+2j-3k).(2i-3j+4k)=2-6-12=-16. So -16 is required answer

sol no 2) iF you will expand the determinant to find a×b you get a×b=2i-10j-7k as the required answer.

sol no 3) A.b=-16 (solved already) now |a|=(14)^1/2 also |b|=(29)^1/2 so cosine of angle between those two is -16/(14×29)^1/2 or angle between them two is cos^-1[-16/(406)^1/2]
