Assertion: Vector addition is commutative.
Reason: Two vectors may be added graphically using head- to-tail method or parallelogram method.

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:
B

Vector addition is commutative
i.e., `vec(A)+vec(B)= vec(B)+vec(A)`
Where `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are two vectors
Two vectors `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` may be added graphically using head-to-tail method or parallelogram methdo.
