JEE MainMathematicsVector AlgebraMCQ+4 / −1
Let and be two vectors such that and the angle between and is 60 . If is a unit vector, then is equal to :
- A4
- B6
- C5
- D8
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Let and the angle between and be .
-
Given that is a unit vector, so
-
Use the condition Squaring both sides,
-
Expand both sides using
Left side:
Right side:
-
Since angle between and is ,
Substitute:
So,
-
Rearranging,
-
Now put : Divide by :
-
Since magnitude is positive,
Therefore,
So the correct option is C.
