Assertion: vec(A)xxvec(B) is perpendicua...

Assertion: `vec(A)xxvec(B)` is perpendicualr to both `vec(A)-vec(B)` as well as `vec(A)-vec(B)`
Reason: `vec(A)xxvec(B)` as well as `vec(A)-vec(B)` lie in the plane containing `vec(A)` and `vec(B)`, but `vec(A)xxvec(B)` lies perpendicular to the plane containing `vec(A)` and `vec(B)`.

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:
