Two forces are such that the sum of their magnitudes is $18 \,N$ and their resultant is perpendicular to the smaller force and the magnitude of the 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
    $16 \,N, 2 \,N$
