ID: d2b59d7286f2JEE Main 2019Single Correct MCQ
Two vectors A→\overrightarrow A and B→\overrightarrow B have equal magnitudes. The magnitude of (A→+B→)\left( {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right) is 'n' times the magnitude of (A→−B→)\left( {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right) . The angle between A→{\overrightarrow A } and B→{\overrightarrow B } is -

Select Option

Step-by-step Explanation

∣A→+B→∣=2acos⁡θ/2\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right| = 2a\cos \theta /2      . . . (1)

∣A→−B→∣=2acos⁡(π−θ)2=2asin⁡θ/2\left| {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right| = 2a\cos {{\left( {\pi - \theta } \right)} \over 2} = 2a\sin \theta /2      . . . (2)

⇒   n(2acos⁡θ2)=2asin⁡θ2\Rightarrow \,\,\,n\left( {2a\cos {\theta \over 2}} \right) = 2a{{\sin \theta } \over 2}

⇒   tan⁡θ2=n\Rightarrow \,\,\,\tan {\theta \over 2} = n
