Detailed Solution
As both the vectors are in the opposite direction of each other therefore, both the vectors are having opposite signs i.e. 3a is positive and -5a is negative, so the difference of angle between them is:=180°Magnitude of the positive vector:=3 aMagnitude of the negative vector:=5 aTherefore, the two vectors ratio is:=3a5a=35=0.6Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of both the vectors is 0.6.
