- C 3
- D 16
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & |\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2+(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}})^2=144 \text { and }|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|=4 \\ & \therefore\left(|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2 \cdot|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2 \cdot \sin ^2 \theta\right)+\left(|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2 \cos ^2 \theta\right)=144 \\ & \therefore|\overline{\mathrm{a}}|^2|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2\left(\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta\right)=144 \\ & \therefore(4)^2|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2=144 \Rightarrow|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|^2=9 \Rightarrow|\overline{\mathrm{b}}|=3\end{aligned}\)
