The components of a vector $\vec{a}$ with respect to a rectangular Cartesian system are $2p$ and $1$. The system is rotated about the origin through a certain angle in the counter-clockwise direction. If the components of $\vec{a}$ with respect to the new system are $p + 1$ and $1$,then:

  • A
    $p = 0$
  • B
    $p = 1$ or $p = -1/3$
  • C
    $p = -1$ or $p = 1/3$
  • D
    $p = 1$ or $p = -1$
