Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): The scalar product of two vectors is a scalar quantity. | Reason (R): The scalar product is calculated using the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The scalar product, also known as the dot product, results in a scalar and is given by the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them, as supported by the NCERT context.
