When `vec(A).vec(B)=-|A|.|B|` then :

A

`vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are perpendicular to each other

B

`vec(A)` and `vec(B)` act in the same direction

C

`vec(A)` and `vec(B)` act in the opposite direction

D

`vec(A)` and `vec(B)` can act in any direction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Here `Abcostheta=(|A|)(|B|)=-AB`
`costheta=-1, theta=180^@`
`vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are opposite to each other.
