Solution
The correct option is C√14 Given, ∣∣¯¯¯u∣∣=1,∣∣¯¯¯v∣∣=2,∣∣¯¯¯¯w∣∣=3 The projection of ¯¯¯v along →u=→v.→u∣∣¯¯¯u∣∣ and the projection of →u along →w=→w.→u∣∣→u∣∣ So, →v.→u∣∣¯¯¯u∣∣=→w.→u∣∣→u∣∣⇒→v.→u=→w.→u and →v,→w are perpendicular to each other ∴→v.→w=0∣∣→u−→v+→w∣∣2=∣∣→u∣∣2+∣∣→v∣∣2∣∣→w∣∣2−2→u.→v+2→u.→w−2→v.→w
