Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((\hat{\mathrm{I}} \mathrm{Q} \cos \theta+\hat{\mathrm{j}} \mathrm{Q} \sin \theta)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{P}=P \sin \theta \hat{i}-P \cos \theta \hat{j}\)
also, \(\vec{Q}=Q \cos \theta\hat{i}+Q \sin \theta\hat{j}\)
\(\therefore \vec{P} .\vec{Q}=(P \sin \theta \hat{i}-P \cos \theta \hat{j}) \cdot(Q \cos \theta \hat{i}+Qsin\theta \hat{j})\)
\(=P Q \sin \theta \cos \theta-P \cos \theta- Q\sin \theta\)
\(=0\)
