If k is any scalar and \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) be vectors then k (\(\vec{a}\)+ \(\vec{b}\))= ________(a) k\(\vec{a}\) + k\(\vec{b}\)(b) k\(\vec{a}\) + \(\vec{b}\)(c) \(\vec{a}\) + k\(\vec{b}\)(d) \(\vec{a}\) + \(\vec{b}\)I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Multiplication of a Vector by a Scalar topic in section Vector Algebra of Mathematics – Class 12 |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) K\(\vec{a}\) + k\(\vec{b}\) The EXPLANATION is: MULTIPLICATION of vector by scalar satisfies distributive property over addition and in k (\(\vec{a}\)+ \(\vec{b}\)) we multiply k with \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) individually and hence the answer COMES out to be k\(\vec{a}\) + k\(\vec{b}\). |
