Assertion - Vector addition of two vecto...

Assertion - Vector addition of two vector is always greater then their vector subtraction.
Reason At `theta =90^(@)` , addition and subreaction of two vector are equal .

A

If both Assetion and Reason are correct but Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assetion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Asserion is true but Reason is false

D

If Asserion is false but Reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

(d) `|AxxB|=sqrt(A^(2)+B^(2)+2AB costheta)`
`and |A-B|=sqrt(A^(2)+B^(2)-2AB cos theta)`
`theta=90^(@)`
`|AxxB|=|A-B|=sqrt(A^(2)+B^(2))`
