    If O be the origin and the position vector of A be \[4\,\mathbf{i}+5\,\mathbf{j},\] then a unit vector parallel to \[\overrightarrow{OA}\] is

    A) \[\frac{4}{\sqrt{41}}\mathbf{i}\]       

    B) \[\frac{5}{\sqrt{41}}\mathbf{i}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{41}}(4\,\mathbf{i}+5\,\mathbf{j})\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{41}}(4\,\mathbf{i}-5\,\mathbf{j})\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Unit vector prarallel to \[\overrightarrow{OA}\] \[=\frac{4\mathbf{i}+5\mathbf{j}}{\sqrt{16+25}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{41}}(4\mathbf{i}+5\mathbf{j}).\]
