Maximum and minimum magnitudes of the re...

Maximum and minimum magnitudes of the resultant of two vectors of magnitudes P and Q are in the ratio 3:1. Which of the following relation is true?

A

`P=2Q`

B

`P=Q`

C

`PQ=1`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Accoding to problem`P+Q=3` and `P-Q=1`
By solving we get `P=2` and `Q=1`
`(P)/(Q)=2impliesP=2Q`
