Solution

The correct option is C ^iBsinθ^jBcosθ
We know that any vector perpendicular to a vector a^i+b^j can be written as b^ia^j, such that their dot product becomes zero.
Thus, a vector perpendicular to A=^iAcosθ+^jAsinθ can be written as B=^iBsinθ^jBcosθ since their dot product = ABcosθsinθABsinθcosθ=0
