MCQ
If $a \times b = b \times c \ne 0$ and $a + c \ne 0,$ then
  • A
    $(a + c)\, \bot \,b$
  • $(a + c)\,\,|\,\,|\,\,b$
  • C
    $a + c = b$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(a + c)\,\,|\,\,|\,\,b$
b
(b) $a \times b = b \times c \Rightarrow (a + c)\, \times \,\,b = 0,$but $a + c \ne 0$

$ \Rightarrow a + c||b.$
