Assertion: Minimum number of non-equal V...

Assertion: Minimum number of non-equal Vectors in a plane required to give zero resultant is three.
Reason: If `vec(A)+vec(B)+vec(C )= vec(0)`, then they must lie in one plane

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:
B
For resultant zero, the vectors form closed polygon and minimum no. of sides of a polygon is three.
