Question 2

Mathematics Scalar and Vector Products Hard

If \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}\) are unit vectors such that \(2\vec{a}+\vec{b} =3\) then which of the following statement is true?

(A) \(\vec{a}\) is parallel to \(\vec{b}\)
(B) \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{b}\)
(C) \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(2\vec{a}+\vec{b}\)
(D) \(\vec{b}\) is perpendicular to \(2\vec{a}+\vec{b}\)
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Fundamentally this question is wrong because sum of two vectors can not be equal to scalar. But if we have solve this question. \[ |2 \vec{a} + \vec{b}|^2 = 9 \] \[ 4|\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 + 4 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 9 \] \[ |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos \theta = 1 \] Since \( \cos \theta = 1 \), this implies: \[ \theta = 0 \] Thus, the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) are parallel.
