Solution

The correct option is D $A = \sqrt{2} B$
$\to A + \to B$ is $⊥$ to $\to B$ .
$\Rightarrow (\to A + \to B) . \to B = 0$
$\Rightarrow \to A . \to B + B^{2} = 0$
$\Rightarrow A B cos θ + B^{2} = 0$
$\Rightarrow A cos θ + B = 0$ --- (1)

$\to A + 2 \to B$ is $⊥$ to $\to A$ .
$\Rightarrow (\to A + 2 \to B) . \to A = 0$
$\Rightarrow A^{2} + 2 A B cos θ = 0$
$\Rightarrow A + 2 B cos θ = 0$ --- (2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get,
$A = \sqrt{2} B$
