The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) and evaluate the provided statements one by one. ### Given: \[ \vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \] \[ \vec{B} = 6\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} \] ### Step 1: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\) The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A} = a_1\hat{i} + a_2\hat{j}\) and \(\vec{B} = b_1\hat{i} + b_2\hat{j}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 \] Substituting the values: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (3)(6) + (4)(8) = 18 + 32 = 50 \] **Conclusion for (i)**: \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 50\) is **correct**. ### Step 2: Check if \(2\vec{A} = \vec{B}\) To check this, we can multiply \(\vec{A}\) by 2: \[ 2\vec{A} = 2(3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) = 6\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} = \vec{B} \] **Conclusion for (ii)**: \(2\vec{A} = \vec{B}\) is **correct**. ### Step 3: Find the unit vectors \(\hat{A}\) and \(\hat{B}\) The unit vector \(\hat{A}\) is given by: \[ \hat{A} = \frac{\vec{A}}{|\vec{A}|} \] First, we calculate the magnitude of \(\vec{A}\): \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] Thus, \[ \hat{A} = \frac{3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}}{5} = \frac{3}{5}\hat{i} + \frac{4}{5}\hat{j} \] Now for \(\hat{B}\): \[ \hat{B} = \frac{\vec{B}}{|\vec{B}|} \] Calculate the magnitude of \(\vec{B}\): \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \] Thus, \[ \hat{B} = \frac{6\hat{i} + 8\hat{j}}{10} = \frac{6}{10}\hat{i} + \frac{8}{10}\hat{j} = \frac{3}{5}\hat{i} + \frac{4}{5}\hat{j} \] Since \(\hat{A} = \hat{B}\), we conclude that: **Conclusion for (iii)**: \(\hat{A} = \hat{B}\) is **correct**. ### Step 4: Check if \(\hat{A} \times \hat{B} = \vec{0}\) The cross product of two vectors is zero if they are parallel (or in the same direction). Since we found that \(\hat{A} = \hat{B}\), it follows that: \[ \hat{A} \times \hat{B} = \vec{0} \] **Conclusion for (iv)**: \(\hat{A} \times \hat{B} = \vec{0}\) is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: All statements (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) are correct. ### Summary of Correct Alternatives: - (i) \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 50\) - (ii) \(2\vec{A} = \vec{B}\) - (iii) \(\hat{A} = \hat{B}\) - (iv) \(\hat{A} \times \hat{B} = \vec{0}\)
