Solution

The correct option is B $\to a = k \to b,$ where $k$ is a scalar quantity
Given,
$\to a \times \to b = \to b \times \to a$
$\to a \times \to b = - (\to a \times \to b)$
$\Rightarrow 2 (\to a \times \to b) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (\to a \times \to b) = 0$
Hence, $\to a$ is parallel to $\to b$
$\to a = k \to b$ , where $k$ is a scalar quantity
