Solution

The correct option is A (1) b,c,d
The correct option is A.

Given two A and B

Since there are Two types of vector multiplications have been defined, the scalar product and the vector product. A×B= AxBx+AyBy+AzBz. The scalar product of two vectors A and B is a scalar quantity equal to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors and the cosine of the smallest angle between them.
Thus it may be equal or smaller or zero.
