Let a^ and b^ be two unit vectors such that |(a^+b^)+2(a^*b^)| = 2. If θ(0,π) is the angle between a^andb^ , then among the statements:

(S1):2|a^*b^|=|a^b^|

(S1) : The projection of a^on(a^+b^)is12

Option 1 - <p>Only (S1) is true.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
Option 2 - <p>Only (S2) is true.</p>
Option 3 - <p>Both (S1) and (S2) are true.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
Option 4 - <p>Both (S1) and (S2) are false.</p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

|a+b+2 (a*b)|=2, θ (0, π)

squaring on both sides, we get = 2π3

where θ is angle between a^andb^.

2|a^*b^|=3=|a^b^|, S1 is correct.

and projection of a^ona^+b^=|a^. (a^+b^)|a^+b^||=12

So (S2) is correct.

(a+3b). (7a-5b) = 7|a|² - 5ab + 21ab - 15|b|² = 7|a|²+16ab-15|b|²=0.
(a-4b). (7a-2b) = 7|a|² - 2ab - 28ab + 8|b|² = 7|a|²-30ab+8|b|²=0.
Subtracting: 46ab - 23|b|² = 0 ⇒ 2ab = |b|².
Substituting: 7|a|² + 8|b|² - 15|b|² = 0 ⇒ 7|a|² = 7|b|² ⇒ |a|=|b|.
cosθ = ab/ (|a|b|) = ab/|b|² = (1/2)|b|²/|b|² = 1/2.
