Question

let $\to u, \to v, \to w$ be such that $∣ ∣ \to u ∣ ∣ = 1, ∣ ∣ \to v ∣ ∣ = 2, ∣ ∣ \to w ∣ ∣ = 3$ . If the projection of $\to v$ along $\to u$ is equal to the projection of $\to w$ along $\to u$ and $\to v, \to w$ are perpendicular to each other, then $∣ ∣ \to u - \to v + \to w ∣ ∣ =$

Solution

The correct option is D $\sqrt{14}$
Projection of $\to v$ along $\to u = \frac{\to u . \to v}{∣ ∣ \to u ∣ ∣} = \to u . \to v$
Projection of $\to w$ along $\to u = \to w . \to u$
$\to v ⊥ \to w \Rightarrow \to v . \to w = 0$ and $\to u . \to v = \to u . \to w (g i v e n)$
Now, ${∣ ∣ \to u - \to v + \to w ∣ ∣}^{2} = {∣ ∣ \to u ∣ ∣}^{2} + {∣ ∣ \to v ∣ ∣}^{2} + {∣ ∣ \to w ∣ ∣}^{2} - 2 \to u . \to v - 2 \to v . \to w + 2 \to u . \to w$
$= 1^{2} + 2^{2} + 3^{2} = 14$ on simplification
$∴ ∣ ∣ \to u - \to v + \to w ∣ ∣ = \sqrt{14}$
