Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

  1. A Displacing a vector parallel to itself leaves the vector unchanged.
  2. B Three equal vectors cannot add upto zero.
  3. C If \(|\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}| \neq|\mathbf{A}-\mathbf{B}|\), they are perpendicular vectors.
  4. D Both \(b\). and \(c\).
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Displacing a vector parallel to itself leaves the vector unchanged.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Three equal vectors can add upto zero when each of them is inclined at \(120^{\circ}\) with the other. If \(|\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}|=|\mathbf{A}-\mathbf{B}|\), they are inclined at \(90^{\circ}\) as shown below. In this figure, length of \(M N\) is equal to length of \(M O\). So,…
