The vectors \(\bar{a}, \overline{\mathrm{~b}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) are such that \(|\bar{a}|=2,|\overline{\mathrm{~b}}|=4,|\overline{\mathrm{c}}|=4\). If the projection of \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) on \(\bar{a}\) is equal to projection of \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) on \(\bar{a}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) is perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\), then the value of \(|\bar{a}+\overline{\mathrm{b}}-\overline{\mathrm{c}}|\) is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \bar{a} / |\bar{a}| = \overline{\mathrm{c}} \cdot \bar{a} / |\bar{a}| \Rightarrow \bar{a} \cdot (\overline{\mathrm{b}} - \overline{\mathrm{c}}) = 0\) \(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \perp \overline{\mathrm{c}} \Rightarrow \overline{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}} = 0\)
