JEE Main2004MathematicsThree Dimensional GeometryActual
Let u , v , w be such that | u |=1,| v |=2,| w |=3 . If the projection v along u is equal to that of w along u and v , w are perpendicular to each other then | u - v + w | equals
Options
- A2
- B7
- C14
- D14
Correct answer
C. 14
Step-by-step solution
Projection of v along u and w along u is v u | u | and w u | u | respectively According to question v u | u | = w u | u | v u = w u . and v w =0 | u - v + w |^2=| u |^2+| v |^2+| w |^2-2 u v +2 u w -2 v w =14 | u - v + w |= 14
