Assertion: vecA.vecB=vecB.vecA Reason:...

Assertion: `vecA.vecB=vecB.vecA`
Reason: Dot product of two vectors is commutative.

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:
