If vec(a). vec(b) = 0 and vec(a) xx vec(...

If `vec(a). vec(b) = 0 and vec(a) xx vec(b) = vec(0)` then which one of the following is correct ?

A

`vec(a)` is parallel to `vec(b)`

B

`vec(a)` is perpendicular to `vec(b)`

C

Either `vec(a) or vec(b)` is a null vector

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Let `vec(a) and vec(b)` are two vectors such that `vec(a).vec(b)=0` and `vec(a)xxvec(b)=0` then either `vec(a) or vec(b)` is a null vector.
