Two vectors `vecA` and `vecB` are such that `vecA+vecB=vecA-vecB`. Then

A

`vec(A)*vec(B).=0`

B

`vec(A)xxvec(B)=0

C

`vec(a).vec(b)=vec(b).vec(c)=vec(c).vec(a)`

D

`vec(a)xxvec(b)+vec(b)xxvec(c)+vec(c)xxvec(a)=vec(0)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the equation given in the question: ### Step 1: Write down the given equation We have: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B} \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation To isolate the vectors, we can rearrange the equation: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} - \vec{A} + \vec{B} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2\vec{B} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for vector B Dividing both sides by 2 gives us: \[ \vec{B} = 0 \] This means that vector \(\vec{B}\) is the null vector. ### Step 4: Analyze the implications Since \(\vec{B} = 0\), we can analyze the implications for the dot and cross products: 1. **Cross Product**: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta \] Since \(|\vec{B}| = 0\), it follows that: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = 0 \] 2. **Dot Product**: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] Again, since \(|\vec{B}| = 0\), we have: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion From our analysis, we conclude: - \(\vec{B} = 0\) (the null vector) - \(\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = 0\) - \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\) However, we cannot conclude anything about \(\vec{A}\) from the information given. ### Final Answer The correct options based on the analysis are: - \(\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = 0\) - \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\) - \(\vec{B} = 0\)

To solve the problem, we start with the equation given in the question: ### Step 1: Write down the given equation We have: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B} \] ...
