If \(\mathbf{r}_1=2 \hat{\mathbf{x}}, \mathbf{r}_2=2 \hat{\mathbf{y}}\), where \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}\) and \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}\) are unit vectors along the \(X\)-axis and \(Y\)-axis respectively, then the magnitude of \(\mathbf{r}_1+\mathbf{r}_2\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{ll}\text { Given, } \mathbf{r}_1=2 \hat{\mathbf{x}} \Rightarrow \mathbf{r}_2=2 \hat{\mathbf{y}} \\\therefore \mathbf{r}_1+\mathbf{r}_2=2 \hat{\mathbf{x}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{y}} \\ \therefore \left|\mathbf{r}_1+\mathbf{r}_2\right|=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}=\sqrt{8}=2…
