(A) \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are collinear
(B) \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular
(C) Angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
(D) \(|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=2 \sqrt{5}\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (C) only
  2. B (B) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Check (A) Collinearity: \(\frac{2}{2} = 1\), \(\frac{-3}{1} = -3\). Since \(1 \neq -3\), \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are not collinear. Check (B) Perpendicularity: \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2)(2) + (-3)(1) + (1)(-1) = 4 - 3 - 1 = 0\) Since \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\),…
