Which of the following statements is false?(a) Cross product is commutative(b) Cross product is distributive over addition(c) Dot product of two vectors gives a scalar(d) Dot product is commutativeThis question was posed to me during an internship interview.I need to ask this question from Vector Product of Two Vectors in portion System of Particles and Rotational Motion of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) Cross product is COMMUTATIVE

To explain: Cross product a X b ≠ b X a, therefore it is not commutative.a X (b + c) = (a X b) + (a X c), therefore it is DISTRIBUTIVE over addition.Dot product is also known as SCALAR product & a.b = b.a, so it is commutative.
