Let `vecu,vecv,vecw` be such that `|vecu|=1,|vecv|=2,|vecw|3`. If the projection of `vecv along vecu` is equal to that of `vecw along vecv,vecw` are perpendicular to each other then `|vecu-vecv+vecw|` equals (A) 2 (B) `sqrt(7)` (C) `sqrt(14)` (D) `14`

A

2

B

`sqrt7`

C

`sqrt14`

D

14

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Given `vecv.vecu = vecw .vecu`
`and vecv bot vecw Rightarrow vecv .vecw = 0`
Now, `|vecu - vecu + vecw|^(2)`
` |vecu|^(2) + |vecv|^(2) + |vecw|^(2) = 2vecu.vecv`
` - 2vecw. Vecu + 2vecu .vecw`
1 + 4+ 9
`so |vecu -vecv - vecw|= sqrt14`
