The value of $(\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B )\, \times (\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B )$ is

A

$0$

B

${A^2} - {B^2}$

C

$\overrightarrow B \times \overrightarrow A $

D

$2(\overrightarrow B \times \overrightarrow A )$

Solution

(d)$(\vec A + \vec B) \times (\vec A – \vec B)$

$ = \vec A \times \vec A – \vec A \times \vec B + \vec B \times \vec A – \vec B \times \vec B$

$ = 0 – \vec A \times \vec B + \vec B \times \vec A – 0$

$ = \vec B \times \vec A + \vec B \times \vec A = 2(\vec B \times \vec A)$
