If \(\mathbf{a} \neq \mathbf{0}, \mathbf{b} \neq \mathbf{0}, \mathbf{c} \neq 0, \mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}=\mathbf{0}\) and \(\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}=0\), then \(\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{c}\) is equal to

  1. A \(b\)
  2. B \(a\)
  3. C \(0\)
  4. D \(\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(a \neq 0, b \neq 0, c \neq 0\) and \(a \times b=0, b \times c=0\) \(\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}=\mathbf{0} \quad \Rightarrow\) Vector \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) are parallel. \(\Rightarrow \mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\) are also parallel.…
