    If \[a=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-3\hat{k}\] and \[b=2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+9\hat{k},\] then the unit vector parallel to \[a+b\] is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{6}\,5\hat{i}-\hat{k}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{35}}(5\hat{i}+3\hat{j}-\hat{k})\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{5}(3\hat{j}-5\hat{k})\]

    D)  \[3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}-6\hat{k}\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Given that,   \[a=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-3\hat{k}\] and \[b=2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+9\hat{k}\] Now, \[a+b=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}+6\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \]Unit vector parallel to \[(a+b)=\frac{(a+b)}{|a+b|}\] \[=\frac{3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}+6\hat{k}}{\sqrt{9+36+36}}=\frac{3(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})}{\sqrt{81}}\] \[=\frac{1}{3}(\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})\]
