Assertion $A$: If $A, B, C, D$ are four points on a semi-circular arc with centre at $O$ such that $|\overrightarrow{AB}|=|\overrightarrow{BC}|=|\overrightarrow{CD}|$,then $\overrightarrow{AB}+\overrightarrow{AC}+\overrightarrow{AD}=4\overrightarrow{AO}+\overrightarrow{OB}+\overrightarrow{OC}$.
Reason $R$: Polygon law of vector addition yields $\overrightarrow{AB}+\overrightarrow{BC}+\overrightarrow{CD}+\overrightarrow{AD}=2\overrightarrow{AO}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.
