Correct answer: 4
-
Let the common magnitude of the mutually perpendicular vectors be .
So, and
-
The vector with which they are equally inclined is Let
-
Since each of makes the same angle with , use the dot product formula:
-
Compute :
-
Compute : Hence,
-
Therefore,
-
Now find :
-
Then
So the required integer is
