Question 21 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2023 • MATHEMATICS • objective

The vectors \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) lie in a plane with \(|\mathbf{a}| = 5\) cm, \(|\mathbf{b}| = 12\) cm and the angle between them \(45^{\circ}\). Determine the scalar \(k\) for which the vector \(\mathbf{c}= \mathbf{a}+k\mathbf{b}\) is perpendicular to \(\mathbf{b}\). Then find the magnitude of \(\mathbf{c}\).

Answer Options

A. k = \\frac{5\\sqrt{2}}{24}, \\; |\\mathbf{c}| = \\frac{5\\sqrt{2}}{2}
B. k = -\\frac{5\\sqrt{2}}{12}, \\; |\\mathbf{c}| = \\frac{5\\sqrt{2}}{4}
C. k = -\\frac{5}{24}, \\; |\\mathbf{c}| = \\frac{5\\sqrt{2}}{2}
Correct Answer D. k = -\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{24}, \; |\mathbf{c}| = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
k = -\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{24}, \; |\mathbf{c}| = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}
