Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason.

STATEMENT - 1 (Assertion): Three points \(A[\vec{a}], B[\vec{b}] \text { and } C[\vec{c}]\) are collinear if \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}+\vec{b} \times \vec{c}+\vec{c} \times \vec{a}=\overrightarrow{0}\)

STATEMENT - 2 (Reason): Points \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) are collinear ⇔ \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}=\mathrm{t} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AC}} \mathbf{V} \mathrm{t} \in \mathrm{R}\)

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is not correct
  4. Assertion is not correct but Reason is correct

Answer

(A) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
