1)

If $(\overrightarrow{a}\times\overrightarrow{b})^{2}+(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b})^{2}$= 676 |$\overrightarrow{b}$| = 2 then |$\overrightarrow{a}$| is equal to


A) 13

B) 26

C) 39

D) None of these

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Since,

$(\overrightarrow{a}\times\overrightarrow{b})^{2}+(\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b})^{2}$ = 676

(|$\overrightarrow{a}$|.|$\overrightarrow{b}$|$\sin\theta\hat{n}$)2 + (|$\overrightarrow{a}$|.|$\overrightarrow{b}$|$\cos\theta$)2 = 676

|$\overrightarrow{a}$|.|$\overrightarrow{b}$|($\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta$) = 676

|$\overrightarrow{a}$|(2)= 676 = |$\overrightarrow{a}$|2  =169

|$\overrightarrow{a}$|

=13
