Q130 / 180 · AIIMS 2019 (26 May) · Physics
Assertion : Adding a scalar to a vector of the same dimensions is a meaningful algebraic operation.
Reason : The displacement can be added with distance.
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- Correct answerDIf both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
Scalar and vector are quantities of different nature. We can add only those quantities which have same nature and units.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
