Letaandb be two unit vectors such thata+b=3. Ifc=a+2b+(a×b), then2cis equal to:

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Asa +b = 3

Squaring both the sides

a2+ b2+2ab=3

1+1+2 11cosθ=3

2cosθ=1

cosθ=12

θ=60°

  Angle betweena and b is 60o

Now,

| c |=| a +2 b +3( a × b )|

Squaring both the sides

| c | 2 =| a | 2 +4| b |+9| a × b | 2 +4 a .( b )+3 a .( a × b )+6 b .( a × b )

| c | 2 =1+4+9 sin 2 θ+4cosθ+0+0

| c | 2 =5+9. 3 4 +4. 1 2 = 55 4

2| c |= 55
