  • A
    Statement $1$ is false, Statement $2$ is true.
  • B
    Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true,Statement $2$ is correct explanation for Statement $1$ .
  • Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false.
  • D
    Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true, ,Statement $2$ is not a correct explanation for Statement $2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false.
c
Statement - $1$

The vectors $\vec a,\vec b$ and $\vec c$ lie in the same

plane

$\Rightarrow \vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are coplanar.

We know, the necessary and sufficient conditions for three vectors to be coplanar

is that $[\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}]=0$

i.e. $\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})=0$

Hence, statement- $l$ is true.
