- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Interpret the given data
We have
Also,
- projection of along equals projection of along ,
- .
-
Use equality of projections
Projection (scalar) of a vector along is
Since , equality of projections gives
-
Expand the required magnitude
We need
First square it:
Expanding,
-
Substitute the given conditions
Since ,
Also from step 2, so
Therefore,
Now substitute magnitudes:
-
Take square root
-
Check options
The correct option is which is Option C.
