If $a, b, c$ are three vectors such that $a = b + c$ and the angle between $b$ and $c$ is $\pi / 2$,then:

  • A
    $a^2 = b^2 + c^2$
  • B
    $b^2 = c^2 + a^2$
  • C
    $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$
  • D
    $2a^2 - b^2 = c^2$

Consider the following Assertion $(A)$ and Reason $(R)$:
Assertion $(A)$: The two lines $\bar{r}=\bar{a}+t(\bar{b})$ and $\bar{r}=\bar{b}+s(\bar{a})$ intersect each other.
Reason $(R)$: The shortest distance between the lines $\bar{r}=\bar{p}+t(\bar{q})$ and $\bar{r}=\bar{c}+s(\bar{d})$ is equal to the length of the projection of the vector $(\bar{p}-\bar{c})$ on $(\bar{q} \times \bar{d})$.
