MCQ
Consider two vectors $\vec{\mathrm{u}}=3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}$ and $\vec{\mathrm{v}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\lambda \hat{\mathrm{k}}, \lambda>0$. The angle between them is given by $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{7}}\right)$. Let $\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2}$, where $\vec{v}_{1}$ is parallel to $\vec{\mathrm{u}}$ and $\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{2}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{\mathrm{u}}$. Then the value $\left|\vec{v}_{1}\right|^{2}+\left|\vec{v}_{2}\right|^{2}$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{23}{2}$
  • $14$
  • C
    $\frac{25}{2}$
  • D
    $10$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$14$
(B) 14
$\vec{\mathrm{u}}=3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}, \vec{\mathrm{v}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\lambda \hat{\mathrm{k}}$,
$\Rightarrow \frac{\vec{\mathrm{u}} \cdot \vec{\mathrm{v}}}{|\vec{\mathrm{u}}||\vec{\mathrm{v}}|}=\cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{\sqrt{10} \sqrt{5+\lambda^{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{7}}$
$\Rightarrow \lambda^{2}=9 \quad \Rightarrow \lambda=3(\because \lambda>0)$
$\vec{\mathrm{v}}=\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1}+\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{2}$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{\mathrm{v}}|^{2}=\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1}^{2}+\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{2}^{2}+2 \vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1} \cdot \vec{\mathrm{v}}_{2}$
$\Rightarrow 14=\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1}^{2}+\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{2}^{2}+0 \quad\left(\because \vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1} \perp \vec{\mathrm{v}}_{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow\left|\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1}^{2}\right|+\left|\vec{\mathrm{v}}_{1}^{2}\right|=14$
