- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Let the two unit vectors be and with angle between them.
Since they are unit vectors, and
-
Find .
Using we get
Expanding,
Now use the identity
So,
-
Find .
Similarly,
Using we get
-
Compare the two expressions.
\frac{|\widehat A-\widehat B|}{|\widehat A+\widehat B|}=rac{2\sin\frac{\theta}{2}}{2\cos\frac{\theta}{2}}=\tan\frac{\theta}{2}.
Therefore,
-
Check options:
- A: This is incorrect.
- B: This is correct.
- C and D involving are incorrect.
Hence, the correct option is B.
