Let , be three vectors such that the projection vector of on is . If is perpendicular to , then is equal to :
- A
- B6
- C
- D4
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given vectors
- Use the projection condition
The projection vector of on is given by
It is given that this projection vector equals . Hence,
Since , we get
So,
Now,
Also,
Therefore,
- Use the perpendicularity condition
Given that is perpendicular to , so
Now,
Thus,
- Solve equations (1) and (2)
From (1):
Substitute into (2):
Then,
So,
- Find the magnitude of
- Check options
The correct option is:
So, Option B is correct.
