Detailed Solution

Given that

A,B are two vectors having angle θ between them 

They are represented as adjacent sides of parallelogram OACB as shown.

 The resultant R is making angle α with A and β with B

 Let |A|=a,|B|=b

 We have tanα=bsinθa+bcosθ,tanβ=asinθb+acosθ

(i) If α>β

tanα>tanβ

bsinθa+bcosθ>asinθb+acosθ

b(b+acosθ)>a(a+bcosθ)b2+abcosθ>a2+abcosθ

b>a

 So if α>β We get b>a or a<b

Similarly we can workout

 (ii) if α<β We get b<a or a>b

 (iii) if α=β We get b=a
