Which of the sets given below may represent the magnitudes of three vectors adding to zero?

A

` 2 , 4 , 8`

B

`4 , 8 , 16`

C

`1 , 2 , 1`

D

`0.5 , 1 , 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The resultant of three vectors lying in a plane may be zero if the magnitude of one vector , say `A`
`(B - C ) le A (B + C)`
`B` and `C` are magnitudes of two other vectors.
