✓

Answer

$(b) :$ Given that, $|\vec{a}|=3,|\vec{b}|=4$ and $\vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{a}-\lambda \vec{b}$.
$\therefore(\vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}) \cdot(\vec{a}-\lambda \vec{b})=0$
$\Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}-\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \lambda+\lambda \vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}-\lambda^2 \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}=0$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^2-\lambda^2|\vec{b}|^2=0 \Rightarrow \lambda^2=\frac{|\vec{a}|^2}{|\vec{b}|^2} \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{|\vec{a}|}{|\vec{b}|}=\frac{3}{4}$
