उत्तर
To prove:
\[\vec{A} . \left( \vec{A} \times \vec{B} \right) = 0\]
Proof: Vector product is given by \[\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = \left| \vec{A} \right|\left| \vec{B} \right| \sin \hat {n}\]
\[\left| \vec{A} \right|\left| \vec{B} \right| \sin\hat { n }\]
is a vector which is perpendicular to the plane containing
\[\vec{A} \text { and } \vec{B}\] This implies that it is also perpendicular to \[\vec{A}\]. We know that the dot product of two perpendicular vectors is zero.
∴ \[\vec{A} . \left( \vec{A} \times \vec{B} \right) = 0\]
Hence, proved.

India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship — in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today — among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes ?
