The resultant of two vectors A and B subtends an angle of 45∘ with either of them. The magnitude of the resultant is
Options:
A .  zero
B .  √2A
C .  A
D .  2A
Answer: Option B : B As shown in figure, the angle θ between vectors A and B is 90∘. Also A = B. Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant is given by R2=A2+B2+2ABcosθ =A2+A2+2A2cos90∘ =2A2 Or R=√2A. Hence the correct choice is (b)
