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)+vec(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 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

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the vector product \(\vec{A} \times \vec{B}\) is perpendicular to both \(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\) and \(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\). - To verify this, we need to recall that the cross product of two vectors results in a vector that is perpendicular to the plane formed by the two original vectors. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason explains that \(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\) and \(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\) lie in the same plane as \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\). - Since \(\vec{A} \times \vec{B}\) is perpendicular to the plane containing \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\), it must also be perpendicular to any vector that lies in that plane, including \(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\) and \(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\). 3. **Mathematical Representation**: - We can express the vectors as follows: - \(\vec{C} = \vec{A} + \vec{B}\) - \(\vec{D} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}\) - We need to show that \((\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{C} = 0\) and \((\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{D} = 0\). - Using the properties of the dot product: - \((\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{C} = (\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) = (\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{A} + (\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{B} = 0 + 0 = 0\) - Similarly, \((\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{D} = (\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot (\vec{A} - \vec{B}) = (\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{A} - (\vec{A} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{B} = 0 - 0 = 0\) 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion, we conclude that both statements are valid. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
