The x, y components of vector \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}\) have magnitudes 1 and 3 and the \(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}\) components of resultant of \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{Q}}\) have magnitudes 5 and 6 respectively. What is the magnitude of \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{Q}}\) ?

  1. A 4
  2. B 5
  3. C 3
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

AS, \(\quad \vec{P}=1 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-(i)\)
And, \(\vec{p}+\vec{Q}=5 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}-(i i)\)
\(\therefore \vec{Q}=4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore|\vec{Q}|=\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}=\sqrt{16+9} &=\sqrt{25} \\ &=5 \end{aligned}\)
option-2 correct
