Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}|=\sqrt{|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}|^2+|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}|^2-2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}}\) \(=\sqrt{3^2+2^2-2 \times 5}=\sqrt{3}\)
