Answer: Option C. -> −3√3
:
C
Well normally I guess by now you know how to find component of a vector along a given vector i.e.
(Magnitude of vector)×(cosine of angle between the two vectors)
This takes care of everything
⇒ In this case
6×cos150∘=6×cos(90+60)
= -6sin60∘=−6×√32=−3√3
Caution:- Component of a vector is scalar. I agree it's tough to understand and remember trigonometric
identitiesintuitively. Also component of a vector is just the measure of the shadow
⇒
Here the length of shadow is 6cos30∘=6×32=3√3 but this component is on -ve x-axis.
But since the question asks the component along the direction of +vex-axis, so the component should be −3√3

Answer: Option C. -> π2
:
C
Let θ be the angle between A and B. Then magnitudes of vectors P and Q are given by
P2=A2+B2+2ABcosθ
and Q2=A2+B2–2ABcosθ
Since P = Q, it follows that cosθ=0orθ=π2. Hence correct choice is (c).

Answer: Option D. -> zero
:
D
The magnitude of ⃗A×⃗B=ABsinθ=3×4×sin180∘=0.
Hence the correct choice is (d)
:
D
The magnitude of ⃗A×⃗B=ABsinθ=3×4×sin180∘=0.
Hence the correct choice is (d)
Answer: Option B. -> B is a null vector
:
B
Given ⃗A+⃗B=⃗A–⃗B
Which gives ⃗B=–⃗B. This is possible only if ⃗B is a null vector.
Hence the correct choice is (b).
:
B
Given ⃗A+⃗B=⃗A–⃗B
Which gives ⃗B=–⃗B. This is possible only if ⃗B is a null vector.
Hence the correct choice is (b).
Answer: Option D. -> 180∘
:
D
Since ⃗A×⃗B=–⃗B×⃗A,⃗C=–⃗D, i.e. vectors ⃗Cand⃗D are in opposite directions.
Hence the correct choice is (d).
:
D
Since ⃗A×⃗B=–⃗B×⃗A,⃗C=–⃗D, i.e. vectors ⃗Cand⃗D are in opposite directions.
Hence the correct choice is (d).
