If for two vector `vecA` and `vecB` sum `(vecA+vecB)` is perpendicular to the difference `(vecA-vecB)`. The ratio of their magnitude is

A

`A=3B`

B

`A=2B`

C

`A=B`

D

`B=2A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c): Dot product of the sum and difference must be zero.
`(vecA+vecB).(vecA-vecB)=0`
`rArr vecA.vecA+vecB.vecA-vecA.vecB-vecB.vecB=0`
`vecA.vecB` is equal to `vecB. vecA`
`rArr vecA.vecA-vecB.vecB=0`
`rArr vecA.vecA-vecB.vecB=0`
`rArr A^(2)-B^(2)=0`
`rArr A=B`
Hence, option (c) is correct .
