If vec(a) and vec(b) are two unit vector...

If `vec(a) and vec(b)` are two unit vectors, then the vector `(vec(a) + vec(b)) xx (vec(a) xx vec(b))` is parallel to

A

All three vectors must be parallel

B

`vec(b) and vec(c)` must be parallel to each other, but `vec(a)` need not be parallel to `vec(b) and vec(c)`

C

`vec(a) and vec(b)` must be perpendicular to each other

D

It is impossible for three non-zero vectors `vec(a), vec(b) and vec(c)` to have the property stated above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Initially `a+b=c`
when `3a+ 2b= 2c`
`because c= a+b`
`therefore 3a+ 2b= 2(a+b) rArr a= 0`
Hence it is impossible for three non-zero vectors to have the property stated above
