Question
Let
and
be three vectors. A vector in the plane of
and
, whose projection on
is of magnitude
, is
and
be three vectors. A vector in the plane of
and
, whose projection on
is of magnitude
, isOptions
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
Given vectors are
.
Any vector
in the plane of
and
is


.....(i)
Since, projection of
on
is
∴
⇒

⇒ | - (1 + t) | = 2
⇒ t = 1 or - 3
On putting t = 1,- 3 in Eq. (i) respectively, we get
