The unit vector in the direction of the sum of vectors a⃗=2i^+2j^−5k^\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k} and b⃗=2i^+j^+3k^\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

a⃗+b⃗=4i^+3j^−2k^\vec{a} + \vec{b} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}.

∣a⃗+b⃗∣=16+9+4=29|\vec{a} + \vec{b}| = \sqrt{16 + 9 + 4} = \sqrt{29}.

Unit vector =129(4i^+3j^−2k^)=429i^+329j^−229k^= \frac{1}{\sqrt{29}}(4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{29}}\hat{i} + \frac{3}{\sqrt{29}}\hat{j} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}\hat{k}.
