The resultant of two vectors A⃗\vec{A} and B⃗\vec{B} is C⃗\vec{C}. If the magnitude of B⃗\vec{B} is doubled, the new resultant vector becomes perpendicular to A→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}. Then the magnitude of C→\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}} is

Options

  1. A3B
  2. B2B
  3. CB
  4. D4B

Correct answer

C. B

Step-by-step solution

According to the question, A+B=C…..(0)A+B=C \ldots . .(0) Also, when BB is doubled, CC becomes perpendicular to AA. Let the new magnitude of CC be C′C^{\prime} That means A.C′=0(AC′cos⁡90=0)>(A)(A+2B)=0…….(1)>(A∧2+2AB)=0>∣A∣=−2ABA . C^{\prime}=0\left(A C^{\prime} \cos 90=0\right)>(A)(A+2 B)=0 \ldots \ldots .(1)>\left(A^{\wedge} 2+2 A B\right)=0>|A|=-2 A B To find the magnitude of CC, square eq. (0) >(A+B)∧2=∣C∣>∣A∣+∣B∣+2AB>(A+B)^{\wedge} 2=|C|>|A|+|B|+2 A B but 2AB=−∣A∣.2 A B=-|A| . from (1)(1) which means ∣C∣=∣B∣|C|=|B|
