Among the given pair of vectors, the resultant of two vectors can never be 3 units. The vectors are

  1. A 1 unit and 2 units
  2. B 2 units and 5 units
  3. C 3 units and 6 units
  4. D 4 units and 8 units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4 units and 8 units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resultant of two vectors \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\) is related as
\(|\mathbf{A}-\mathbf{B}| \leq R \leq|\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}|\)
For option (d),
\(|\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}|=4+8=12\) unit
and \(|A-B|=|4-8|=4\) unit
