Two forces are such that the sum of their magnitudes is $18 \,N$ and their resultant is perpendicular to the smaller force and magnitude of resultant is $12\, N$. Then the magnitudes of the forces are

  • A

    $12\, N, 6 \,N$

  • B

    $13\, N, 5\,N$

  • C

    $10\, N, 8 \,N$

  • D

    $16\, N, 2\, N$
