CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/3/1 · Question 24 (Vector Algebra)
Unit vectors a,b satisfy |a+2b|=|2a−b|. Find their angle.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: π/2.
- Square both magnitudes and expand using the dot product.
- Using unit norms gives 5+4a·b=5−4a·b, so a·b=0.
- The two unit vectors are perpendicular, giving π/2.
