Questions  

The resultant of two vectors A and B is perpendicular to the vector A and its magnitude is equal to half the magnitude of vector B. The angle between A and B is

a
1200
b
1500
c
135o
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

B2 = A2+B2+2ABcosθ      ----(i)∴ tan900 = BsinθA+Bcosθ    ⇒ A+Bcosθ = 0∴  cosθ = -ABHence, from (i) B24 = A2+B2-2A2  ⇒  A = 3B2⇒cosθ  = -AB = -32     ∴θ = 1500
