TOPIC 6 — ASSERTION & REASON (Q115 – Q129)

Instructions: Select the correct option from (a) to (e):

(a) Both A & R true, R is correct explanation
(b) Both A & R true, R is NOT correct explanation
(c) A true, R false | (d) Both A & R false | (e) A false, R true

Q115. Assertion: A⃗ × B⃗ is perpendicular to both A⃗ + B⃗ and A⃗ − B⃗.

Reason: A⃗ + B⃗ and A⃗ − B⃗ lie in the plane containing A⃗ and B⃗, but A⃗ × B⃗ is perpendicular to that plane.

Q116. Assertion: If A⃗·B⃗ = B⃗·C⃗, then A⃗ may not always equal C⃗.
Reason: The dot product of two vectors involves cosine of the angle between them.

Q117. Assertion: If θ is the angle between A⃗ and B⃗, then tanθ = (A⃗ × B⃗)/(A⃗·B⃗).
Reason: A⃗ × B⃗ is perpendicular to A⃗·B⃗.

Q118. Assertion: If |A⃗ + B⃗| = |A⃗ − B⃗|, then angle between A⃗ and B⃗ is 90°.
Reason: A⃗ + B⃗ = B⃗ + A⃗.

Q119. Assertion: Vector product of two vectors is an axial vector.

Reason: If v⃗ = instantaneous velocity, r⃗ = radius vector and ω⃗ = angular velocity, then ω⃗ = v⃗ × r⃗.

Q120. Assertion: Minimum number of non-equal vectors in a plane to give zero resultant is
three.
Reason: If A⃗ + B⃗ + C⃗ = 0⃗, they must lie in one plane.

Q121. Assertion: Minimum number of non-coplanar vectors whose sum can be zero is four.
Reason: Resultant of two vectors of unequal magnitude can be zero.

Q122. Assertion: Vector addition of two vectors A⃗ and B⃗ is commutative.

Reason: A⃗ + B⃗ = B⃗ + A⃗.

Q123. Assertion: A⃗·B⃗ = B⃗·A⃗.

Reason: Dot product of two vectors is commutative.

Q124. Assertion: If dot product AND cross product of A⃗ and B⃗ are both zero, one must be a
null vector.
Reason: A null vector is a vector with zero magnitude.

Q125. Assertion: A null vector has magnitude zero and direction is arbitrary.
Reason: A null vector does not exist.

Q126. Assertion: A physical quantity cannot be called a vector if its magnitude is zero.
Reason: A vector has both magnitude and direction.

Q127. Assertion: The sum of two vectors can be zero.

Reason: Vectors cancel each other when they are equal and opposite.

Q128. Assertion: Two vectors are said to be like vectors if they have same direction but
different magnitude.
Reason: Vector quantities do not have specific direction.

Q129. Assertion: The scalar product of two vectors can be zero.

Reason: If two vectors are perpendicular to each other, their scalar product will be zero.
