Let \(\mathbf{a}=\hat{i}+x \hat{j}+\hat{k}, \mathbf{b}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and \(|\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}|=|\mathbf{a}|+|\mathbf{b}|\), then

  1. A \(x=1\)
  2. B \(x=-1\)
  3. C \(x=0\)
  4. D No such real \(x\) exist
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}|=|\mathbf{a}|+|\mathbf{b}| \Rightarrow \mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}\) are in same direction. \[ \frac{1}{1}=\frac{x}{1}=\frac{1}{1} \Rightarrow x=1 \]
