At what angle must the two forces $(x + y)$ and $(x -y)$ act so that the resultant may be $\sqrt {({x^2} + {y^2})} $

  • A

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \frac{{{x^2} + {y^2}}}{{2({x^2} - {y^2})}}} \right)$

  • B

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \frac{{2({x^2} - {y^2})}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}}} \right)$

  • C

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \frac{{{x^2} + {y^2}}}{{{x^2} - {y^2}}}} \right)$

  • D

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( { - \frac{{{x^2} - {y^2}}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}}} \right)$
