`ABC` is triangle, right angled at A. The resultant of the forces acting along `vec(AB). vec(AC)` with magnitudes `1/(AB)` and respectively is the force along `vec(AD),` where D is the foot of the perpendicular from A onto BC. The magnitude of the resultant is-

A

`((AB)(AC))/(AB + AC)`

B

`(1)/(AB) + (1)/(AC)`

C

`(1)/(AD)`

D

`(AB^(2) + AC^(2))/((AB)^(2) (AC)^(2))`
