The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given relations involving the vectors \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \) cannot be possible, we will analyze each relation step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Vectors Let \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \) be two vectors with non-zero magnitudes. We denote their magnitudes as \( |\overset{\rarr}{A}| = a \) and \( |\overset{\rarr}{B}| = b \), where \( a, b > 0 \). ### Step 2: Analyzing the Relations We need to analyze the following relations: 1. \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| - |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \) 2. \( |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| = |\overset{\rarr}{A} - \overset{\rarr}{B}| \) 3. \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \cos(\theta) \) 4. \( |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}| < |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \) ### Step 3: Evaluating Each Relation 1. **Relation 1: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| - |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \)** - This relation implies that the resultant vector \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} \) has a magnitude equal to the difference of the magnitudes of \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \). This is not possible because the magnitude of a vector cannot be negative, and the sum of two vectors cannot be less than the magnitude of either vector. Therefore, this relation **cannot be possible**. 2. **Relation 2: \( |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| = |\overset{\rarr}{A} - \overset{\rarr}{B}| \)** - This relation is valid only when the two vectors are in opposite directions and have equal magnitudes. Thus, it can be possible under specific conditions. 3. **Relation 3: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \cos(\theta) \)** - This is the definition of the dot product of two vectors and is always valid for any angle \( \theta \). 4. **Relation 4: \( |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}| < |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \)** - This relation is a statement of the triangle inequality, which is always true for any two vectors. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis above, the relations that cannot be possible are: - **Relation 1: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| - |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \)**

To determine which of the given relations involving the vectors \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \) cannot be possible, we will analyze each relation step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Vectors Let \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \) be two vectors with non-zero magnitudes.
