If a and b are two vectors such that |a|=2,|b|=3 and a+tb and a-tb are perpendicular, where 't' is a positive scalar, then

  1. A t=±23
  2. B t=49
  3. C t=23
  4. D t=29
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) t=23

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, Dot product of perpendicular vectors is zero. ∴a→+tb→·a→-tb→=0 ⇒a→2-ta→·b→+tb→·a-t2b→2=0 ⇒a→2-t2b→2=0 ⇒4-9t2=0 ⇒t2=49 ⇒t=±23 But given that t…
