Prove that ` [veca-vecb,vecb-vecc,vecc-veca]=0 `

A

Both the statements are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1.

B

Both statements are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false

D

Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`vecr.veca= vecr.vecb= vecr.vecc=0 ` only if `veca,vecb and vecc` are coplanar, thus,
`[veca vecb vecc] =0`
Hence, statement 2 is true
Also `[veca -vecb vecb-vecc vecc-veca]=0 " even " if [veca vecb vecc] ne 0`
Hence, statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1.
