Question
Assertion $(A):$ The lines $\vec{r}=\vec{a}_1+\lambda \vec{b}_1$ and $\vec{r}=\vec{a}_2+\mu \vec{b}_2$ are perpendicular, when $\vec{b}_1 \cdot \vec{b}_2=0$.
Reason $(R):$ The angle $\theta$ between the lines $\vec{r}=\vec{a}_1+\lambda \vec{b}_1$ and $\vec{r}=\vec{a}_2+\mu \vec{b}_2$ is given by $\cos \theta=\frac{\vec{b}_1 \cdot \vec{b}_2}{\left|\vec{b}_1\right|\left|\vec{b}_2\right|}$.

Answer

if lines are perpendicular, then $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore \cos \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\vec{b}_1 \cdot \vec{b}_2}{\left|\vec{b}_1\right| \vec{b}_2 \mid}$
$\Rightarrow \cos \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\vec{b}_1 \cdot \vec{b}_2}{\left|\vec{b}_1\right| \vec{b}_2 \mid}$
$\Rightarrow \vec{b}_1 \cdot \vec{b}_2=0$
$\therefore \quad$ Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
