Study the Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option.
P⃗Q⃗ × (R⃗S⃗ + S⃗T⃗) ≠ 0⃗. The vectors P⃗Q⃗, Q⃗R⃗, R⃗S⃗, S⃗T⃗, T⃗U⃗ and U⃗P⃗ represent the sides of…
Assertion: $\vec{PQ} \times (\vec{RS} + \vec{ST}) \neq \vec{0}$.
Reason: $\vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} = \vec{0}$ and $\vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq \vec{0}$.
The vectors $\vec{PQ}, \vec{QR}, \vec{RS}, \vec{ST}, \vec{TU}$ and $\vec{UP}$ represent the sides of a regular hexagon.
Assertion (A): $\vec{PQ} \times (\vec{RS} + \vec{ST}) \neq \vec{0}$.
Reason (R): $\vec{PQ} \times \vec{RS} = \vec{0}$ and $\vec{PQ} \times \vec{ST} \neq \vec{0}$.
- (a)Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of A.
- (b)Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- (c)Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
- (d)Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
