Assertion A : If A , B , C , D are four points on a semi-circular arc with a centre at O such that | A B → | = | B C → | = | C D → | . Then, A B → + A C → + A D → = 4 A O → + O B → + O C → Reason R : Polygon law of vector addition yields A B → + B C → + C D → + A D → = 2 A O → In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
