    If \[A=3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}\] and \[B=7\hat{i}+24\hat{j}\], then the vector having the same magnitude as Band parallel to A is

    A)  \[15\hat{i}+20\hat{j}\]         

    B)  \[5\hat{i}-3\hat{j}\]

    C)  \[15\hat{i}+13\hat{j}\]          

    D)  \[5\hat{i}+14\hat{j}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Unit vector in the direction of A will be                 \[A=\frac{3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}}{\sqrt{{{3}^{2}}+{{4}^{2}}}}=\frac{3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}}{5}\]                 \[\left| B \right|=\sqrt{{{7}^{2}}+{{(24)}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{625}=25\] Required vector \[=25\left( \frac{3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}}{5} \right)=5\hat{i}+20\hat{j}\]
