Which of the following statements are true?
(A) If \(\vec{r}=x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}+z \hat{k}\), then \(x, y, z\) are called direction ratios of \(\vec{r}\).
(B) For any two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}, \vec{a}+\vec{b}=\vec{b}+\vec{a}\).
(C) \(\vec{a} \perp \vec{b}\) if and only if \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\overrightarrow{0}\).
(D) Projection of \(\vec{b}\) on \(\vec{a}\) is \(\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}|^2}\).
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (B) and (C) only
  2. B (B), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (C) and (D) only
  4. D (A) and (B) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A) and (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) True: The components of a vector are its direction ratios. (B) True: Vector addition is commutative, i.e., \(\vec{a}+\vec{b}=\vec{b}+\vec{a}\). (C) False: \(\vec{a} \perp \vec{b}\) if and only if \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0\). \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\overrightarrow{0}\)…
