If |vec(a) + vec(b)| = |vec(a) - vec(b)|...

If `|vec(a) + vec(b)| = |vec(a) - vec(b)|` then

A

`|a|=|b|ne0`

B

`vec(a)` is perpendicular to `vec(b)`

C

`|a|=|b|ne0` and `vec(a)` and `vec(b)` are parallel and antiparallel

D

when either of |a| or |b| is zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here
`|vec(a)+vec(b)|=sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2)2abcostheta)`
and `|vec(a)-vec(b)|=sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2)-2abcostheta)`
When `theta=90^@,costheta=0`
and `|vec(A)+vec(b)|=|vec(a)-vec(b)|`
