The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements regarding the vectors of a regular hexagon. ### Step 1: Understand the structure of a regular hexagon A regular hexagon has six equal sides and can be represented by the vertices \( P, Q, R, S, T, U \). The vectors representing the sides are: - \( \vec{PQ} \) - \( \vec{QR} \) - \( \vec{RS} \) - \( \vec{ST} \) - \( \vec{TU} \) - \( \vec{UP} \) ### Step 2: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** \( \vec{PQ} \times (\vec{RS} + \vec{ST}) \neq \vec{0} \) To evaluate this statement, we need to find \( \vec{RS} + \vec{ST} \): - By the triangle rule, \( \vec{RS} + \vec{ST} = \vec{RT} \). Now, we check if \( \vec{PQ} \) is parallel to \( \vec{RT} \): - In a regular hexagon, \( \vec{PQ} \) and \( \vec{RT} \) are not parallel because they are not along the same line. - Therefore, \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RT} \neq \vec{0} \). Thus, **Statement I is true**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} = \vec{0} \) and \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq \vec{0} \) 1. **Check \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \)**: - Since \( \vec{PQ} \) and \( \vec{RS} \) are not parallel (they are adjacent sides of the hexagon), their cross product is not zero. - Therefore, \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \neq \vec{0} \). 2. **Check \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \)**: - \( \vec{PQ} \) and \( \vec{ST} \) are also not parallel (they are not adjacent sides), so their cross product is also not zero. - Thus, \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq \vec{0} \). Since both conditions in Statement II are not satisfied, **Statement II is false**. ### Conclusion - **Statement I is true**: \( \vec{PQ} \times (\vec{RS} + \vec{ST}) \neq \vec{0} \) - **Statement II is false**: \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} \neq \vec{0} \) and \( \vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq \vec{0} \) ### Final Answer The correct option is (C), as both statements are evaluated, and we found that Statement I is true and Statement II is false.
