Assertion: If vec(A).vec(B)= vec(B).vec(...

Assertion: If `vec(A).vec(B)= vec(B).vec(C )`, then `vec(A)` may not always be equal to `vec(C )`.
Reason: The dot product of two vectors involves consine of the angle between the two vectors.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`vec(A).vec(B)= vec(B).vec(C)`
`rArr AB cos theta_(1)= BC cos theta_(2)`
When `theta_(1)= theta_(2) `then A= C
