Two vectors ( A ) and ( B ) are such that (| A + B |=| A - B | )....

Two vectors (\vec{A}) and (\vec{B}) are such that (|A→+B→∣=∣A→−B→∣\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}|=|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}|). The angle between the two vectors will be-

Options

  1. A(60^{{}^{\circ}})
  2. B(90^{{}^{\circ}})
  3. C(180^{{}^{\circ}})
  4. D(0^{{}^{\circ}})

Correct answer

B. (90^{{}^{\circ}})

Step-by-step solution

(A→+B→∣=∣A→−B→∣\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}|=| \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \mid) (\Rightarrow A2+B2+2ABcos⁡θ=A2+B2−2ABcos⁡θ\sqrt{\mathrm{A}^2+\mathrm{B}^2+2 \mathrm{AB} \cos \theta}=\sqrt{\mathrm{A}^2+\mathrm{B}^2-2 \mathrm{AB} \cos \theta}) Squaring both the sides, we get (\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}^2+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}^2+2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cos \theta=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}^2+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}^2-2 A→B→cos⁡θ\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cos \theta) or (4 A→B→cos⁡θ=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cos \theta=0) or (\cos θ=\theta=0) (since the scalar or dot product is zero). Therefore angle between (A→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}) to (B→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}) is (90^{{}^{\circ}})
