A B C D is a parallelogram with A C and ...

`A B C D` is a parallelogram with `A C` and `B D` as diagonals. Then, ` vec (A C)- vec (B D)=`

A

a) `4 vec (A B)`

B

b) `3 vec (A B)`

C

c) `2 vec (A B)`

D

d) ` vec (A B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c) `2 vec (A B)`

In `DeltaABC`.

`vec(AB)=vec a, vec(BC)=vec(AD)=vec b`

`vec a+vec b=vec(AC)`


In `DeltaABD`.

`vec a+vec (BD)=vecb`

`vec (BD)=vecb-vec a`


`vec (A C)- vec (B D)=vec a+vec b-(vecb-vec a)`

`vec (A C)- vec (B D)=2vec a`
