Assertion: The difference of two vectors...

Assertion: The difference of two vectors A and B can be treated as the sum of two vectors.
Subtraction of vectors can be defined in terms of addition of vectors.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both aseertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Let two vectors be `vec(A)` and `vec(B)`. Difference of vectors `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` can be taken as the sum of two vectors `vec(A)` and `-vec(B)`
i.e., `vec(A)-vec(B)= vec(A)+(-vec(B))`
