Assertion: If dot product and cross product of `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are zero, it implies that one of the vector `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` must be a null vector.
Reason: Null vector is a vector with zero magnitude.

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

`vec(A).vec(B)= AB cos theta= 0`
`vec(A) xx vec(B) = AB sin theta= 0`
If `vec(A) and vec(B)` are not null vector then `sin theta= cos theta= 0`, which is not possible Hence, one of vector must be null vector
