Mathematics · JEE | VECTOR ALGEBRA
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: For any two vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \), \( |\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}| \leq |\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \) (Cauchy-Schwartz inequality). Statement II: For any two vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \), \( |\vec{a} + \vec{b}| > |\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}| \) (Triangle inequality). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct answer · Option C
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Statement I is true (Cauchy-Schwartz inequality). Statement II is incorrect because triangle inequality states \( |\vec{a}+\vec{b}| \leq |\vec{a}|+|\vec{b}| \).
