If \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) are two non-collinear vectors and the vector \(\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}\) bisects the angle between \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\), then

  1. A \(|\mathbf{a}|=|\mathbf{b}|\)
  2. B angle between \(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}\) is \(0^{\circ}\) (or) \(\pi\)
  3. C a , b always form adjacent sides of a square.
  4. D a, b always form adjacent sides of a rectangle.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(|\mathbf{a}|=|\mathbf{b}|\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(O A=|\mathbf{a}|\) \(O D=A C=|\mathbf{b}|\) \(\begin{aligned} & \text { In } \triangle A B C, A B=|\mathbf{b}| \cos 2 \theta \\ & \text { and } B C=|\mathbf{b}| \sin 2 \theta \\ & \text { In } \triangle O B C \text {, }\end{aligned}\)…
