    If\[|A\times B|=\sqrt{3}A.B\] then the value of\[|A+B|\] is

    A)  \[A+B\]                              

    B)  \[{{({{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+\sqrt{3}AB)}^{1/2}}\]

    C)  \[{{\left( {{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+\frac{AB}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}^{1/2}}\]

    D)  \[{{({{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+AB)}^{1/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[\left| A\times B \right|=\sqrt{3}A.B\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[AB\sin \theta =\sqrt{3}AB\cos \,\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\tan \theta =\sqrt{3}\]or \[\theta ={{60}^{o}}\] Hence, \[|A+B|=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\cos \theta }\]                 \[=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\cos {{60}^{o}}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\frac{1}{2}}\] \[={{({{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+AB)}^{1/2}}\]
