    If \[\left| A\times B \right|=\sqrt{3}\,\,A\,.\,B\] then the value of \[\left| A+B \right|\] 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, \[\left| A+B \right|=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\cos \theta }\] \[=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\cos {{60}^{o}}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\frac{1}{2}}\] \[={{({{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+AB)}^{1/2}}\]
