Question

Asserion: Magnitude of the resultant of two vectors may be less than the magnitude of either vector.
Reason: The resultant of two vectors is obtained by means of law of parallelogram of Vectors.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
If `veca and vecb` are inclined at an angle greater than `90^(@)`, their resultant has magnitude.
`R = sqrt(a^(2) + b^(2) + 2ab cos theta)`
which is less than both a and b, when they are nearly equal.
