Question Image

From triangle law of vector addition , we can say that angle between  2P+Q and Q  is 90º
 
 Alternate solution  P+Q=P
              
 P2+Q2+2PQcosθ=P2       Q+2Pcosθ=0           cosθ=-Q2P

 

Question Image


tanα=2Psinθ2Pcosθ+Q=2Pcosθ+Q=0

α=90º

So angle between  2P¯+Q¯ and  Q¯ is 90º
