Solution

The correct option is A $∣ ∣ \to u ∣ ∣$
$∣ ∣ \to v ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ \to a \times \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ \to a ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ sin θ = sin θ$
$∣ ∣ \to u ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ \to a - (\to a \cdot \to b) \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ = \sqrt{a^{2} + (\to a \cdot \to b)^{2} b^{2} - 2 (\to a \cdot \to b)^{2}}$
$= \sqrt{1 + {cos}^{2} θ - 2 {cos}^{2} θ}$
$= \sqrt{1 - {cos}^{2} θ}$
$= \sqrt{{sin}^{2} θ}$
$= sin θ$
Hence option $A$ .
