Let | vector a| ≠ 0,| vector b| ≠ 0  (vector a + vector b).(vector a + vector b) = |vector a|2 + |vector b|2  holds if and only ifa. vector a  and vector b  are perpendicular b. vector a  and vector b are parallel c. vector a  and vector b  are inclined at an angle of 45° d. vector a  and vector b are anti-parallel

Answer»

Correct option a. vector a  and vector b  are perpendicular

Explanation:

(vector  a + vector  b) x (vector  a + vector  b) = a2 + 2vector  a x vector  b + b2 = a2 + b2

⇒ vector a x vector b = 0 ⇒ vector a ⊥ vector b
