Law of a parallelogram.

We know that Resultant force R =Square of (P^2 + Q^2 +2PQcosangle value).
Here in the problem, The above figure shows the two equal forces at right angles acting at a point.
so angle value is 90 Degrees
R = Square of (P^2 + Q^2 + 2PQcos90), P = Q.
therefore R =Square of (P^2 + P^2 + 2P * P * 0).
R = Square of (2P^2 + 0).
R = Square of (2) * P.

Option C.

R=√(p2+p2+ 2ppcos90).
Cos90 = 0.

ThenR = √[p2+p2].
R = √[2p2),
R = (√2)(p).

R^2 = P^2 + P^2 + 2P^2cos90 =>
R^2 = 2P^2 + 0 =>
R = √2P.

This problem is about non coplanar forces. Why is everyone using parallelogram law of coplanar forces?

Lami's theorem can be used only coplanar forces.

Lamis theorem R/ sin 90 = P/sin 135.
i. e. R= √2 P.

R*2 = P*2 + P*2 using Pythagoras theorem.

Let's make square root of both sides just to remove square from R.
R*((2)*(1/2)) = (P*2 + P*2)*(1/2).
R*(2/2) = (2P*2)*(1/2),
R = 2P*(2/2),
R = 2P.

R = Pcos45 + Psin45.
R = P(cos45 + sin45).
R = P(1/√2+1/√2) {from value cos45 and sin45=1/√2},
R = P(2/√2).
R = P√2.

Hence R = √2P.
