  • a - d = λb - c

  • a + d = λb + c

  • a - b = λc + d

  • a + b = λc - d

A unit vector in xy-plane makes an angle of 45° with the vector i^ + j^ and an angle of 60° with the vector 3i^ - 4j^, is

  • i^

  • i^ + j^2

  • i^ - j^2

  • None of these


D.

None of these

Let the required unit vector be r = ai^ + bj^.

Then, r = 1 a2 + b2 = 1     a2 + b2 = 1            ...(i)

Since, r makes an angle of 45° with i^ + j^ and an angle of 60° with 3i^ - 4j^, therefore cosπ4 = r . i^ + j^ri^ + j^ and cosπ3 = r . 3i^ - 4j^r3i^ - 4j^

 12 = a +b2 and 12 = 3a - 4b5      a + b = 1          ...(ii)and 3a - 4b = 52        ...(iii)

There exist no real values of a and b satisfying the Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii). Hence, no such unit vector exists.
