Detailed Solution

If two vectors are perpendicular then their dot product must be equal to zero. Let say two vectors are A→ and B→ . According to problem A→+B→ is perpendicular to A→-B→.∴A→+B→⋅A→−B→=0⇒A→⋅A→−A→⋅B→+B→⋅A→−B→⋅B→=0⇒A2−B2=0⇒A2=B2∴ A = B i.e., two vectors are equal to each other in magnitude.
