JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 1)
Question
Let , and and be two nonzero vectors such that and . Consider the following two statement:
for all .
and are always parallel
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Step-by-step explanation
Given,
Now squaring both side we get,
Now here given , so
which means are perpendicular vector, so statement is false,
Now statement
This is not always true, since .
Hence, we can say that statement is true and statement is false.
