If ai^  + bj^  is a unit vector and it is perpendicular to i^  +  j^, then value of a and b is 

a
1, 0
b
- 2, 0
c
0.5,- 0.5
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is D

ai^+bj^·(i^+j^)=0 or a+b=0                          …(i)Further,  a2+b2=1 or a2+b2=1               …(ii)Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we geta=±12 and   b=±12
