Let `vec(a), vec(b), vec(c)` be vectors of length `3, 4, 5` respectively. Let `vec(a)` be perpendicular to `vec(b)+vec(c), vec(b)` to `vec(c)+vec(a)` and `vec(c)` to `vec(a)+vec(b)`. Then `|vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c)|` is :

A

`2sqrt(5)`

B

`2sqrt(2)`

C

`10sqrt(5)`

D

`5sqrt(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`|vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c)|=sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)+2(vec(a).vec(b)+vec(b).vec(c)+vec(c).vec(a)))`
`:' vec(a).(vec(b)+vec(c))=0, vec(b).(vec(c)+vec(a))=0` & `vec(c).(vec(a)+vec(b))=0`
`rArr vec(a).vec(b)+vec(b).vec(c)+vec(c).vec(a)=0`
`rArr |vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c)|=sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2))=sqrt(3^(2)+4^(2)+5^(2))=5 sqrt(2)`
