\(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\) are three vectors such that \(|\mathbf{a}|=1,|\mathbf{b}|=2,|\mathbf{c}|=3 \quad\) and \(\mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c} \quad\) are perpendicular. If projection of \(\mathbf{b}\) on \(\mathbf{a}\) is the same as the projection of \(\mathbf{c}\) on \(\mathbf{a}\), then \(|\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b}+\mathbf{c}|\) is equal to

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{7}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{14}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{21}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{14}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(|\mathbf{a}|=1,|\mathbf{b}|=2,|\mathbf{c}|=3\) \(\because b\) and \(c\) are perpendicular. \(\therefore \mathrm{b} \cdot \mathrm{c}=0\) And projection of \(b\) on \(a=\frac{a \cdot b}{|\mathbf{a}|}\) Projection of \(\mathbf{c}\) on…
