MCQ
Let $ABCD$ is a parallelogram where $\overrightarrow {AB}  = \overrightarrow a ,\,\overrightarrow {AD}  = \overrightarrow b ,\,\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow b } \right| = 2$ and $\left| {\overrightarrow a  \times \overrightarrow b } \right| + \overrightarrow a  \cdot \overrightarrow b  = \sqrt 2 \,\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\,\left( {\overrightarrow a  \cdot \overrightarrow b \, > \,0} \right),$ then area of this parallelogram, is (in square units)-
  • $2\sqrt 2$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $\sqrt 2$
  • D
    $8 \sqrt 2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2\sqrt 2$
a
$|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}| \| \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}|\sin \theta+| \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}|| \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}|\cos \theta=\sqrt{2}| \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}|| \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} |$

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Area of $\mathrm{ABCD}=|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}|=2 \sqrt{2}$
