Given that A→+B→+C→=0\overset{→}{A} + \overset{→}{B} + \overset{→}{C} = 0 . Out of three vectors, two are equal in magnitude and the magnitude of third vector is 2\sqrt{2} times that of either of the two having equal magnitude. Then the angle between vectors are given by

Options

  1. A45o,45o,90o{45}^{o}, {45}^{o}, {90}^{o}
  2. B90o,135o,135o{90}^{o}, {135}^{o}, {135}^{o}

  4. D45o,60o,90o{45}^{o}, {60}^{o}, {90}^{o}

Correct answer

B. 90o,135o,135o{90}^{o}, {135}^{o}, {135}^{o}

Step-by-step solution

Let, \left|\overset{→}{A}\right| = \left|\overset{→}{B}\right| = \text{x}<br/>Then∣C→∣=2x<br/>Then \left|\overset{→}{C}\right| = \sqrt{2} \text{x}
Now A→+B→=−C→\overset{→}{A} + \overset{→}{B} = - \overset{→}{C}
\left(\overset{→}{A} + \overset{→}{B}\right) \cdot \left(\overset{→}{A} + \overset{→}{B}\right) = \left(- \overset{→}{C}\right) \cdot \left(- \overset{→}{C}\right)
