Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Here, `|veca|=1,|vecb|=1, |vecc|=1`
`veca.vecb=0` and `veca.vecc=0`
Also, `vecb.vecc=|vecb|.|vecc|cospi/3=1.1.1/2=1/2`
Now, `|veca+vecb+vecc|^(2)`
`=veca^(2)+vecb^(2)+vecc^(2)+2veca.vecb+2vecb.vecc`
`rArr 1^(2)+1^(2)+1^(2)+2.1/2=4`
`therefore |veca+vecb+vecc|=2`
