If the component of the vector \(\vec{A}\) along the vector \(\vec{B}\) is twice the component of \(\vec{B}\) along \(\vec{A}\), then the ratio of magnitudes of vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(3: 2\)
  3. C \(2: 1\)
  4. D \(3: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{B}|} = 2 \frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{A}|}\) \(\frac{1}{|\vec{B}|} = \frac{2}{|\vec{A}|}\) \(\frac{|\vec{A}|}{|\vec{B}|} = \frac{2}{1}\)
