Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((\sqrt{2}+1) R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, diagram can be projected on \(x y-\) plane as shown here. \(|\mathbf{O A}|=R=|\mathbf{O B}|=|\mathbf{O C}|\) \(\mathbf{O B}\) has projected as \(\mathbf{A} \mathbf{B}^{\prime}\) and \(\mathbf{O C}\) is projected as \(\mathbf{B}^{\prime} \mathbf{C}^{\prime}\). Hence,…
