Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((\hat{i}+\hat{j})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Projection of vector \(A\) on vector \(B\)

\((A \cos \theta) \hat{B}=A\left(\frac{\bar{A} \cdot \bar{B}}{A B}\right) \hat{B}=\frac{\bar{A} \cdot \bar{B}}{B} \hat{B}\)

\(=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\hat{i}+\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=\hat{i}+\hat{j}\)
