Solution
The correct option is D→C⊥(→A×→B) From the definition of vector product, →C must be perpendicular to the plane formed by vector →A and →B. Thus →C⊥→A and →B. Also →A+→B vector must lie in the plane formed by vector →A and →B. Thus →C⊥(→A+→B). Cross product (→A×→B)=→C which can not be perpendicular to itself. Hence, option (d) is wrong.
