If the projection of \(\bar{a}\) on \(\bar{b}+\bar{c}\) is twice the projection of \(\bar{b}+\bar{c}\) on \(\bar{a}\) also if \(|\bar{b}|=2 \sqrt{2},|\bar{c}|=4\) and the angle between \(\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{c}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) then \(|\bar{a}|=\)

  1. A \(2 \sqrt{10}\)
  2. B \(3 \sqrt{10}\)
  3. C \(4 \sqrt{10}\)
  4. D \(5 \sqrt{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 \sqrt{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\bar{a} \cdot (\bar{b}+\bar{c})}{|\bar{b}+\bar{c}|} = 2 \frac{(\bar{b}+\bar{c}) \cdot \bar{a}}{|\bar{a}|}\) \(|\bar{a}| = 2 |\bar{b}+\bar{c}|\)
