The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states that the position of a particle on a rectangular coordinate system is (3, 2, 5). It claims that the position vector is given by \(2\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\). **Solution:** 1. The position vector of a point in a 3D coordinate system (x, y, z) is represented as \(x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}\). 2. For the point (3, 2, 5): - \(x = 3\), \(y = 2\), \(z = 5\) - Therefore, the position vector is \(3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\). 3. The assertion claims the position vector is \(2\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\), which is incorrect. **Conclusion for Assertion (A):** The assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states that the displacement vector of the particle moving from point \(P(2, 3, 5)\) to point \(Q(3, 4, 5)\) is given by \(\hat{i} + \hat{j}\). **Solution:** 1. The position vector of point \(P\) is \(2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\). 2. The position vector of point \(Q\) is \(3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\). 3. The displacement vector \(PQ\) is calculated as: \[ PQ = Q - P = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}) - (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}) \] 4. Performing the subtraction: - For \(\hat{i}\): \(3 - 2 = 1\) - For \(\hat{j}\): \(4 - 3 = 1\) - For \(\hat{k}\): \(5 - 5 = 0\) 5. Therefore, the displacement vector \(PQ\) is: \[ PQ = 1\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} \] **Conclusion for Reason (R):** The reason is **true**. ### Final Conclusion - Assertion (A) is false. - Reason (R) is true.
