The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem given that \( P + Q + R = 0 \), we need to analyze the implications of this vector equation and determine which of the provided statements is true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vector Equation**: - The equation \( P + Q + R = 0 \) implies that \( R = - (P + Q) \). This means that vector \( R \) is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the vector sum of \( P \) and \( Q \). 2. **Visualizing the Vectors**: - We can visualize this by drawing a triangle where the vectors \( P \) and \( Q \) are two sides of the triangle, and \( R \) is the third side, pointing in the opposite direction to the resultant of \( P \) and \( Q \). 3. **Checking the Magnitudes**: - According to the triangle law of vector addition, the magnitude of the resultant vector (which is \( R \)) should be less than or equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the other two vectors. - Thus, we can say: \[ |R| = |P + Q| \leq |P| + |Q| \] 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: \( |P| + |Q| = |R| \) - This is incorrect because the triangle inequality states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. - **Option 2**: \( P + Q = R \) - This is incorrect because \( R = - (P + Q) \). - **Option 3**: \( P - Q = R \) - This is incorrect because \( R \) is not simply the difference of \( P \) and \( Q \). - **Option 4**: \( |P| - |Q| = |R| \) - This is also incorrect because it does not hold true in general for vectors. 5. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all options, we find that none of the options provided are correct based on the vector equation \( P + Q + R = 0 \). ### Final Answer: None of the statements provided are true based on the given vector equation \( P + Q + R = 0 \).
