Which one of the following vector equations is wrong ?

A

`vec P + vec Q = vec R`

B

`vec P - vec Q = vec R`

C

`vec P + Q= vec R`

D

`vec P = vec R - vec Q`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Equation `vec P + Q =vec R` is wrong because we cannot add vector `vec P` and a scalar Q We can multiply or divide `vec P` by Q.
