what if two vectors a X b = 0 and a . b = 0then find what kind of vector are a   b​

Considering the angle between the given vectors A and B, 
if A x B = 0, it means angle between them is 0 degrees
but, A.B = 0, it means they are perpendicular, however, two vectors cannot be parallel and perpendicular to each other at the same time, this means that,
either on of the vector, A or B is a null vector, or both the vectors are null vectors.

Given that  a x b = 0 and a.b = 0

From the given statement we can draw conclusions that in first case a is parallel to b.
​In second case a is perpendicular to b. Since a given vector cannot be both parallel or perpendicular to a particular vector.

​Therefore, either vector a is 0 or vector b is 0 or both are zero.
