  1. A \(90^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(180^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(120^{\circ}\)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: Here \(\vec{a}+\vec{b}=\vec{c} \& c=a+b\) Now, \(c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b \cos \theta}\) \(\begin{aligned} & (a+b)=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b \cos \theta} \\ & a^2+b^2+2 a b=a^2+b^2+2 a b \cos \theta \\ & \cos \theta=1, \theta=0^{\circ} \end{aligned}\)
