Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\vec{a}_k = \tan\theta_k\,\hat{i} + \hat{j}\) and \(\vec{b}_k = \hat{i} - \cot\theta_k\,\hat{j}\), where \(\theta_k = \dfrac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n + 1}\). \(|\vec{a}_k|^2 = \tan^2\theta_k + 1 = \sec^2\theta_k\) \(|\vec{b}_k|^2 = 1 + \cot^2\theta_k = \csc^2\theta_k\) So the…
