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^i−a^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 = ABcosθsinθ−ABsinθcosθ=0
