As we learn

Properties of Vector Product -

\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\neq \vec{b}\times\vec{a}

- wherein

Vector Product is not Commutative

 

 \vec{a}*\vec{b} is not always equal to \vec{b}*\vec{a} , instead \vec{a}*\vec{b}=-\vec{b}*\vec{a}

 

\therefore \vec{a}*\vec{b}=-\vec{b}*\vec{a} becomes \therefore 2(\vec{a}*\vec{b})=\vec{0}\Rightarrow -\vec{a}*\vec{b}=\vec{0}

\Rightarrow sin\Theta =0 (\therefore \left | \vec{a} \right |\neq 0,\left | \vec{b}\ \right |\neq 0)

\therefore \vec{a} and \vec{b} are collinear
