Two vectors vec(A) and vec(B) lie in pla...

Two vectors `vec(A) and vec(B)` lie in plane, another vector `vec(C )` lies outside this plane, then the resultant of these three vectors i.e., `vec(A)+vec(B)+vec(C )`

A

cannot be zero

B

can be zero

C

Lies in the plane of `vec(A)` or `vec(B)`

D

Lies in a plane different from that of any of the three vectors

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
The resultant of three vectors is zero only if they can form a triangle. But three vectors lying in diffeent planes cannot from a triangle.
