Vectors

Question:

If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are two non-collinear unit vectors, then projection of $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ on $\vec{a}-\vec{b}$ is equal to:

Options:

2

-2

1

None of these

Correct Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

$(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) . (\vec{a}-\vec{b})=|\vec{a}|^2-|\vec{b}|^2=0$

Thus projection of $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ on $\vec{a}-\vec{b}$ is zero.

Hence (4) is correct answer.
