Consider the following vectors. Choose the correct statement.

Consider the following vectors. Consider the following vectors. Choose the correct statement.
Choose the correct statement.

Options

  1. AE=A−BE=A-B and A=D+CA=D+C
  2. B−E=−A+B-E=-A+B and A=−D+CA=-D+C
  3. CE=−A−BE=-A-B and E=−B+D+CE=-B+D+C
  4. DE=−A−BE=-A-B and E=−B+C−DE=-B+C-D

Correct answer

B. −E=−A+B-E=-A+B and A=−D+CA=-D+C

Step-by-step solution

The given situation for connection of vectors is given as Consider the following vectors. Choose the correct statement.
According to rule of vector addition, In △PQR\triangle P Q R, A=B+E⇒E=A−B⇒−E=−A+B…\mathbf{A}=\mathbf{B}+\mathbf{E} \Rightarrow \mathbf{E}=\mathbf{A}-\mathbf{B} \Rightarrow-\mathbf{E}=-\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}\ldots (i) Again, according to rule of vector addition, In △PSR\triangle P S R, C=A+D⇒A=C−D⇒A=−D+C…\mathbf{C}=\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{D} \Rightarrow \mathbf{A}=\mathbf{C}-\mathbf{D} \Rightarrow \mathbf{A}=-\mathbf{D}+\mathbf{C}\ldots (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we see that option (b) is correct.
