Question 11 Mark
State True or False for the following:
Position vector of a point $\vec{\text{P}}$ is a vector whose initial point is origin.
Answer
True.Solution:
Since, $\vec{\text{P}}=\overrightarrow{\text{OP}}$ displacement of vector $\vec{\text{P}}$ from origin.

Question 21 Mark
Answer the following as true or false.
Two collinear vectors are always equal in magnitude.
Answer
False $[\because\ \vec{a}\ \ \text{and}\ 2\vec{a}$ are collinear vectors but $ \Big|2\vec{a}\Big|=2\Big|\vec{a}\Big|]$

Question 41 Mark
State True or False for the following:
If $|\vec{\text{a}}|=|\vec{\text{b}}|,$ then necessarily it implies $\vec{\text{a}}=\pm\vec{\text{b}}.$
Answer
False.Solution:
Consider $\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}$
Clearly $|\vec{\text{a}}|=|\vec{\text{b}}|,$ but $\vec{\text{a}}=\pm\vec{\text{b}}$
So, the given statement false.

Question 71 Mark
State True or False for the following:
If $|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}|=|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}|,$ then the vector $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are orthogonal.
Answer
True.Solution:
Given, $|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}|=|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}|$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}|^2=|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}|^2$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+|\vec{\text{b}}|^2+2\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+|\vec{\text{b}}|^2-2\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow2\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=-2\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow4\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=0$
Hence, $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are orthogonal.

Question 81 Mark
State True or False for the following:
If $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are adjacent sides of a rhombus, then $\vec{\text{a}}\cdot{\text{b}}=0.$
Answer
False.Solution:
If $\vec{\text{a}}\cdot{\text{b}}=0,$ then $\vec{\text{a}}$ and ${\text{b}}$ are perpendicular to each other.
In rhombus, adjacent sides are not necessarily perpendicular.

Question 91 Mark
State True or False for the following:
The formula $(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}})=\vec{\text{a}}^2+\vec{\text{b}}^2+2\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}$ is valid for non-zero vectors $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}.$
Answer
False.Solution:
$(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}})=(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}})\cdot(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}})$
$(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}})=\vec{\text{a}}^2+\vec{\text{b}}^2+2\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}$

Question 101 Mark
Two collinear vectors having the same magnitude are equal.
Answer
False, As two collinear vectors are equal only if they have same length and same sense.

Question 111 Mark
Answer the following as true or false.
Two collinear vectors having the same magnitude are equal.
Answer
False $[\because$ Vectors $\vec{a}\ \text{and}-\vec{a}\left\{=(-1) \vec{a}=\vec{ma}\right\}$ are collinear vectors and $\Big|\vec{a}\Big|=\Big|-\vec{a}\Big|$ but we know that $\vec{a}\neq-\vec{a}$ because their directions are opposite.]

Question 121 Mark
Answer the following as true or false.
Two vectors having same magnitude are collinear.
Answer
False $[\because\ \Big|\hat{i}\Big|=\Big|\hat{j}\Big|=1$ bat $\hat{i}\ \text{and}\ \vec{j}$ are vectors along x - axis (OX) and y - axis (OY) respectively]
