The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given regarding the vectors representing the sides of a regular hexagon. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry of a Regular Hexagon**: - A regular hexagon has equal sides and angles. Let's denote the vertices of the hexagon as \( P, Q, R, S, T, U \). - The vectors representing the sides of the hexagon are \( \vec{PQ}, \vec{QR}, \vec{RS}, \vec{ST}, \vec{TU}, \vec{UP} \). 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - Statement I states: \( \vec{PQ} \times (\vec{RS} + \vec{ST}) \neq 0 \). - We can rewrite this using the distributive property of the cross product: \[ \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} + \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq 0 \] 3. **Understanding the Cross Products**: - Since \( \vec{PQ} \) and \( \vec{ST} \) are parallel (as they are opposite sides of the hexagon), we have: \[ \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} = 0 \] - However, \( \vec{PQ} \) and \( \vec{RS} \) are not parallel; they form an angle \( \theta \) (where \( 0 < \theta < 180^\circ \)). Thus: \[ \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \neq 0 \] 4. **Conclusion for Statement I**: - Since \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \) is a non-zero vector and \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} = 0 \), we can conclude: \[ \vec{PQ} \times (\vec{RS} + \vec{ST}) = \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} + 0 = \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \neq 0 \] - Therefore, Statement I is **True**. 5. **Analyzing Statement II**: - Statement II states: \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} = 0 \) and \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq 0 \). - From our previous analysis, we know: - \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \neq 0 \) (this is false). - \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} = 0 \) (this is true). 6. **Conclusion for Statement II**: - Since one part of Statement II is false, we conclude that Statement II is **False**. ### Final Answer: - Statement I is True, and Statement II is False.
