Assertion: Minimum number of non-equal Vectors in a plane required to give zero resultant is three.
Reason: If `vec(A)+vec(B)+vec(C )= vec(0)`, then they must lie in one plane

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
For giving a zero resultant, it should be possible to represent the given Vectors along the sides a closed polygon and minimum number of sides of a polygon is three.
