The simple sum of two co-initial vectors is 10 units. Their vector sum is 8 units. The resultant of the vectors is perpendicular to the smaller vector. The magnitudes of the two vectors are

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

6 units and 10 units

Option C (6 units and 10 units) is correct because it satisfies the conditions of the problem: the sum of the magnitudes is 10+6=16, not 10, so there is an error in the problem statement. Assuming the simple sum is 16, the vector sum is 8, and the resultant is perpendicular to the smaller vector.
