Assertion: A physical quantity cannot be called as a vector if its magnitude is zero.
Reason: A vector has both, magnitude and direction.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
If the magnitude of displacement is zero, then it is not a vector quantity as it needs both magnitude (= 0) and direction.
