Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(vec(A)+ vec(B)) bot (vec(A)- vec(B))`
`(vec(A) + vec(B)).(vec(A)- vec(B))= 0`
`rArr vec(A)^(2) + vec(B).vec(A) - vec(A).vec(B)- vec(B)^(2)= 0` [Since, `vec(A).vec(B)= vec(B).vec(A)`]
`rArr vec(A)^(2)- vec(B)^(2)= 0 rArr vec(A) = vec(B)`
Ratio of magnitude `((A)/(B))= 1`
