A vector \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}\) when added to the sum of the vectors \((\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})\) and \((-2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})\) gives a unit vector along \(\mathrm{y}\) -axis. The magnitude of the vector \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}\) is

  1. A \(\sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{6}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{8}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{A}+(\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})+(-2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})=\) \(\frac{\hat{j}}{\begin{array}{l}\text { unit } \text { vector along Y axis }\end{array}}\)
\(\vec{A}=\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k}\)
\(|\vec{A}|=\sqrt{6}\)
