Let $$P$$ be $$2x2$$ real orthogonal matrix and $$\overline x $$ is a real vector $${\left[ {\matrix{ {{x_1}} & {{x_2}} \cr } } \right]^T}$$ with length $$\left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right| = {\left( {{x_1}^2 + {x_2}^2} \right)^{1/2}}.$$ Then which one of the following statement is correct?

$$\left| {\left| {P\overline x } \right|} \right| \le \left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right|$$ where at least one vector satisfies $$\left| {\left| {P\overline x } \right|} \right| < \left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right|$$

$$\left| {\left| {P\overline x } \right|} \right| = \left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right|$$ for all vectors $${\overline x }$$

$$\left| {\left| {P\overline x } \right|} \right| \ge \left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right|$$ where at least one vector satisfies $$\left| {\left| {P\overline x } \right|} \right| > \left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right|$$

No relationship can be established between $$\left| {\left| {\overline x } \right|} \right|$$ and $$\left| {\left| {P\overline x } \right|} \right|$$
