Question Image


Sum of vectors a,band cis R

as shown in the figure.

Magnitude of x-component of R =OM

Magnitudfe of x-Component of  

a= OK

Magnitude of x-Component of 

b=  KL

Magnitude of x-Component of 

C= LM

Now OM = OK + KL+LM

Also , OK < OA , KL < AB and BC > LM

So option - (2 ) is right
