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

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

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

    C) A + B                     

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea : \[\vec{A}\times \vec{B}=AB\sin \theta \] and \[\vec{A}.\vec{B}=AB\,cos\theta \] Given, \[|\vec{A}\times \vec{B}|=\sqrt{3}\vec{A}.\vec{B}\] but\[|\vec{A}\times \vec{B}|=|\vec{A}|\,\,|\vec{B}|sin\theta =AB\sin \theta \] and  \[\vec{A}.\vec{B}=|\vec{A}|\,\,|\vec{B}|\cos \theta =AB\cos \theta \] Make these substitutions in Eq. (i), we get \[AB\sin \theta =\sqrt{3}AB\cos \theta \]                 or            \[\tan \theta =\sqrt{3}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\theta ={{60}^{o}}\] The addition of vectors \[\text{\vec{A}}\] and \[\text{\vec{B}}\] can be given by the law of parallelogram. \[\text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ \vec{A}}\,\text{+}\,\text{\vec{B} }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }\,\text{=}\,\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\cos {{60}^{o}}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\times \frac{1}{2}}\] \[={{({{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+AB)}^{1/2}}\]
