If a , b are unit vectors such that 2a + b =3 , then which of the following statement is true?
Choose the correct answer:
A.
a is parallel to b
(Correct Answer)
B.
a is perpendicular to b
C.
a is perpendicular to 2a + b
D.
b is parallel to 2a + b
Correct Answer:
a is parallel to b
Explanation
(a) Fundamentally this question is wrong because sum of two vectors can not be equal to scalar. But if we have solve this question. ∣2a+b∣2=9 <br>⇒4∣a∣2+∣b∣2+4a⋅b=9 ⇒a⋅b=1 <br>⇒∣a∣⋅∣b∣cosθ=1 ⇒cosθ=1 <br>⇒θ=0
