  • question_answer
    Let \[\vec{u},\vec{v},\vec{w}\] be such that \[|\vec{u}|=1,\] \[|\vec{v}|=2,\] \[|\vec{w}|=3\]If the projection \[\text{\vec{v}}\]along \[\vec{v}\] is equal to that of \[\vec{w}\] along  \[\vec{v}\]and \[\text{\vec{v},\vec{w}}\] are perpendicular to each other then \[|\vec{u}-\text{\vec{v}+\vec{w} }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }\] equals

    A) \[14\]    

    B)               \[\sqrt{7}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{14}\]

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Projection of \[\vec{v}\] along \[\vec{u}=\frac{\text{\vec{v}}\text{.\vec{u}}}{|\text{\vec{u} }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}=\frac{\text{\vec{v}}\text{.\vec{u}}}{1}\]
    Projection of \[\vec{w}\] along \[\vec{u}=\frac{\vec{w}.\vec{u}}{|\vec{u}|}=\frac{\vec{w}.\vec{u}}{1}\]
    Given \[\text{\vec{v}}\text{.\vec{u}=\vec{w}}\text{.\vec{u}}\]                       .??(1)
    Also,   \[\text{\vec{v}}\text{.\vec{w}=0}\]                         ??.(2)
    Now \[|\vec{u}-\text{\vec{v} + \vec{w}}{{\text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}^{2}}\]
    \[=|\vec{u}{{|}^{2}}+|\text{\vec{v}}{{\text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}^{2}}+|\vec{w}{{|}^{2}}-2\vec{u}.\text{\vec{v} }-2\text{\vec{v}}\text{.\vec{w}+2\vec{u}}\text{.\vec{w}}\]
    \[=1+4+9+0\][From (1) and (2)]
    \[=14\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,|\vec{u}-\text{\vec{v}+\vec{w} }\!\!|\!\!\text{ =}\sqrt{14}\]
