The scalar $\overrightarrow{A}.[(\overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{C})\times(\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{C})]$ eqy=ual
- 0
- $[\overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{C}]+[\overrightarrow{B}.\overrightarrow{C}\overrightarrow{A}]$
- $[\overrightarrow{A}.\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{C}]$
- None of these
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
$[\because\text{it is a scalar triple product of three vectors of the form } \overrightarrow{A},\overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{C},\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{C}]$
$=\overrightarrow{A}(\overrightarrow{B}\times\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}\times\overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{B}\times\overrightarrow{C}+\overrightarrow{C}\times\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{C}\times\overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{C}\times\overrightarrow{C})$
$=\overrightarrow{A}.(\overrightarrow{B}\times\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{A}.(\overrightarrow{B}\times\overrightarrow{C})+\overrightarrow{A}.(\overrightarrow{C}\times\overrightarrow{B})$
$[\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{A}]-[\overrightarrow{A}\overrightarrow{B}\overrightarrow{C}]=0$

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Concepts Used:
Vector Algebra
A vector is an object which has both magnitudes and direction. It is usually represented by an arrow which shows the direction(→) and its length shows the magnitude. The arrow which indicates the vector has an arrowhead and its opposite end is the tail. It is denoted as
The magnitude of the vector is represented as |V|. Two vectors are said to be equal if they have equal magnitudes and equal direction.
Vector Algebra Operations:
Arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication on vectors. However, in the case of multiplication, vectors have two terminologies, such as dot product and cross product.
