  1. Question 1

    Q1. At what specific angle between two non-zero vectors will the magnitude of their scalar product be equal to the magnitude of their vector product?

    • A) 45 degrees
    • B) 90 degrees
    • C) 0 degrees
    • D) 180 degrees

    Answer: 45 degrees

    Explanation: AB cosθ = AB sinθ implies tanθ = 1, so θ = 45 degrees. Option B is where the cross product is maximum.
