बेरीज

उत्तर

$Given that \vec{a} . \vec{a} = 0$

$\Rightarrow {| \vec{a} |}^{2} = 0$

$\Rightarrow | \vec{a} | = 0 . . . (1)$

$Also, given that$

$\vec{a} . \vec{b} = 0$

$\Rightarrow | \vec{a} | | \vec{b} | \cos θ = 0. . . . . . . . . . . (where θ is the angle between \vec{a} and \vec{b})$

$\Rightarrow 0 | \vec{b} | \cos θ = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . [From (1)]$

$\Rightarrow 0 = 0$

$So, it means that for any vector \vec{b}, the given equation \vec{a} . \vec{b} = 0 is satisfied .$
