Solution

For vector A1+A2, we have
|A1+A2|2=(A1+A2).(A1+A2)[x.x=|x|2]
|A1+A2|2=|A1|2+|A2|2+2A1.A2
Given, |A1|=3,|A2|=5 and |A+A2|=5
So, we have
(5)2=9+25+2A1.A2
A1.A2=92
Now, (2A1+3A2).(3A12A2)
=6|A1|24A1.A2+9A1.A26|A2|2
=6|A1|26|A2|2+5A1.A2
Substituting values, we have
(2A1+3A2).(3A12A2)
=6(9)6(25)+5(92)=118.5
