Assertion: If dot product and cross product of `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are zero, it implies that one of the vector `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` must be a null vector.
Reason: Null vector is a vector with zero magnitude.

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

`vec(A).vec(B)=|vec(A)||vec(B)|cos theta=0`
`vec(A)xxvec(B)=|vec(A)||vec(B)| sin theta=0`
If `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are not null Vectors then it follows that `sin theta` and `cos theta` both should be zero simultaneously But it cannot be possible so it is essential that one of the vector must be null vector.
