MCQ
If $|a| + |b|\, = \,|c|$ and $a + b = c,$ then the angle between $ a$  and $ b$ is
  • A
    $\frac{\pi }{2}$
  • B
    $\pi $
  • $0$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$0$
c
(c) $a + b = c \Rightarrow \,|a{|^2} + |b{|^2} + 2a\,.\,b = \,|c{|^2}$

and $|a| + |b|\, = \,|c|$ $ \Rightarrow \,|a{|^2} + |b{|^2} + 2|a||b|\, = \,|c{|^2}$

$\therefore \,a\,.\,b = \,|a||b| \Rightarrow \cos \theta = 1$

==> $\theta = 0.$
