Statement-I: Two forces ( P + Q ) a n d ( P Q ) w h e r e P Q , when act at an angle θ1 to each other the magnitude of their resultant is 3 ( P 2 + Q 2 ) , when they act an angle θ2, the magnitude of their resultant becomes 2 ( P 2 + Q 2 ) . This is possible only when θ1 < θ2.

Statement-II: In the situation given above.

θ1 = 60° and θ2 = 90°

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:-

Option 1 - <p>Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true</p>
Option 2 - <p>Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false</p>
Option 3 - <p>Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false</p>
Option 4 - <p>Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true</p>

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

x = | P + Q | = P 2 + Q 2          

=> y = | P Q | = P 2 + Q 2

| x + y | = x 2 + y 2 + 2 x y

3 ( P 2 + Q 2 ) = ( P 2 + Q 2 ) 2 + ( P 2 + Q 2 ) 2 + 2 ( P 2 + Q 2 ) c o s θ 1

θ 1 = 6 0 °

=>Using same formula : θ2 = 90°
