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 minimum number of non-equal vectors in a plane required to give a zero resultant is three. - To have a zero resultant, the vectors must be arranged in such a way that they form a closed polygon. The simplest polygon that can be formed is a triangle, which requires three sides (or vectors). 2. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that if \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = \vec{0} \), then these vectors must lie in one plane. - This is true because if the sum of the vectors equals zero, they can be represented as the sides of a triangle, which is a two-dimensional shape and thus lies in a plane. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of the Statements**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. The assertion is true because three non-equal vectors can indeed sum to zero, and the reason is true because if the vectors sum to zero, they must lie in the same plane. 4. **Determining the Relationship**: - However, the reason provided does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. The assertion is about the minimum number of vectors required to achieve a zero resultant, while the reason discusses the condition under which the vectors can sum to zero without addressing the minimum requirement. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion, the correct answer is **B**: Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true, Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for statement-I.
