If \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) are three vectors such that \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}=\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) and the angle between \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), then:

  1. A \(a^2=b^2+c^2\)
  2. B \(b^2=c^2+a^2\)
  3. C \(c^2=a^2+b^2\)
  4. D \(2 a^2-b^2=c^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(a^2=b^2+c^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}=\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}} \perp \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) then \((\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}})^2=(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}})^2+(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}})^2\)…
