The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given options and determine which relation is correct based on vector addition properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vector Addition**: - Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. When we add two vectors, the result is also a vector. - The general form of vector addition can be expressed as \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to evaluate each of the given options to see if they correctly represent vector relations. 3. **Option A**: \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \) - This is a standard vector addition equation. If \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) are vectors, then their sum \( \vec{C} \) is also a vector. - This option is correct. 4. **Option B**: \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = k \) (where \( k \) is a scalar) - This option suggests that the sum of two vectors equals a scalar. This is incorrect because the sum of two vectors cannot be a scalar; it must be a vector. 5. **Option C**: \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \) - This is identical to Option A and is also correct for the same reasons. 6. **Option D**: \( \vec{A} = \vec{C} - \vec{B} \) - This option rearranges the vector equation. Since vector subtraction is valid and \( \vec{C} \) is defined as \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \), this equation is also valid. - However, if it implies that \( \vec{A} \) is equal to a scalar, it would be incorrect. 7. **Conclusion**: - The correct relations based on vector addition are found in Options A and C. However, since the question asks for which of the following relations is correct, the most straightforward answer is that **Option A** or **Option C** is correct. ### Final Answer: The correct relation is \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C} \).
