Question

Ifa⃗andb⃗are mutually perpendicular thena⃗⋅b⃗=

  1. 1
  2. 0
  3. 2
  4. 3

Answer: 0

Solution :-

We know that if a⃗andb⃗ are mutually perpendicular then angle θ between a⃗andb⃗ are π2 .
Hence, θ=π2

also we know thata⃗⋅b⃗=∣a⃗∣⋅∣b⃗∣⋅cosθ∴a⃗⋅b⃗=∣a⃗∣⋅∣b⃗∣⋅cosπ2(∵θ=π2)=∣a⃗∣⋅∣b⃗∣⋅0=0⋅

Hence, If a⃗andb⃗ are mutually perpendicular then a⃗⋅b⃗=0⋅

So, correct answer is option-2, →0
