Explain Solution R.D.Sharma Class 12 Chapter 23 Scalar or Dot Products Exercise 23.1 Question 39 Maths Textbook Solution.

Answers (1)

Answer:  \vec{b} is any vector.

Hint: You must know the rules of solving vectors.

Given: If \vec{a}.\vec{a}=0 and \vec{a}.\vec{b}=0. What can you conclude about the vector \vec{b}?

Solution:

Given that \vec{a}.\vec{a}=0

\Rightarrow \mid \vec{a}\mid^{2} =0

\Rightarrow \mid \vec{a}\mid =0

Also given that,

\vec{a}.\vec{b}=0

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow|\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \cos \theta=0[\text { where } \theta \text { is the angle between } \vec{a} \text { and } \hat{b}] \\ &\Rightarrow 0|\vec{b}| \cos \theta=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 0=0 \end{aligned}

 

So, it means that for any vector \vec{b},  the given equation \vec{a}.\vec{b}=0  is satisfied
