What conclusion can you draw about vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ when $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\overrightarrow{0}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0 ?$

Rs aggarwal Class 12 Chapter Product of three vectors Exercise 25 B

Answer:
Given: $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=0$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0$
If both cross and dot product of two vectors is zero, then it means that products are independent of angle between them.
Then $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=0$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0$
Either $\vec{a}=0$ or $\vec{b}=0$
