The value of \(\hat i\).(\(\hat j\)×\(\hat k\))+\(\hat j\).(\(\hat i\times\hat k\))+\(\hat k\).(\(\hat i\times \hat j\)) is
\(\hat i\).(\(\hat j\)×\(\hat k\))+\(\hat j\).(\(\hat i\)×\(\hat k\))+\(\hat k\).(\(\hat i\)×\(\hat j\))
=\(\hat i.\hat i\).i^+\(\hat j.(-\hat j)\)+\(\hat k.\hat k\)
=1-\(\hat j.\hat j\)+1
=1-1+1
=1
The correct answer is C.

A ladder of fixed length \( h \) is to be placed along the wall such that it is free to move along the height of the wall.
Based upon the above information, answer the following questions:
(iii) (b) If the foot of the ladder, whose length is 5 m, is being pulled towards the wall such that the rate of decrease of distance \( y \) is \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \), then at what rate is the height on the wall \( x \) increasing when the foot of the ladder is 3 m away from the wall?
