Vectors
Statement-1: For any three vectors →a,→b,→c [→a×→b→b×→c→c×→a]=0 Statement-2: If →p,→q,→r are linearly dependent vectors then they are coplanar. |
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True. |
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True. |
If →p,→q,→r are linearly independent vectors, then there exist scalars x, y, z not all zero such that x→p+y→q+z→r=→0 ⇒→p=(−yx)→q+(−zx)→r ⇒→p,→q,→r are coplanar. So, statement-2 is true. We know that [→a×→b→b×→c→c×→a]=[→a→b→c]2≠0 unless →a,→b,→c are coplanar. So, statement-2 is not true. |
