    If \[\vec{A}\times \vec{B}=(\vec{C}+\vec{D}),\] then select the correct alternative

    A) \[\vec{B}\] is parallel to \[\vec{C}+\vec{D}\]

    B) \[\vec{A}\] is perpendicular to \[\vec{C}\]

    C) component of \[\vec{C}\] along \[\vec{A}=\] component of \[\vec{D}\] along \[\vec{A}\]

    D) component of \[\vec{C}\] along \[\vec{A}=-\] component of\[\vec{D}\] along \[\vec{A}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\left( \vec{C}+\vec{D} \right)\] is perpendicular to \[\vec{A}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\overrightarrow{A}.\left( \vec{C}+\vec{D} \right)=0\]
    or         \[\vec{A}.\vec{C}+\vec{A}.\vec{D}=0\]
    or         A (component of \[\vec{C}\] along A)
    +A (component of \[\vec{D}\] along A) = 0
    or         Component of \[\vec{C}\] along A
    = ? component of \[\vec{D}\] along A.
