The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which relation cannot be possible between two non-zero vectors \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \), we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = \overset{\rarr}{A} - \overset{\rarr}{B} \)** Rearranging gives: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} - \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2\overset{\rarr}{B} = 0 \] Since \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \) is a non-zero vector, this equation is not possible. **Conclusion**: This relation cannot be possible. 2. **Option B: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A} \times \overset{\rarr}{B}| \)** The dot product is given by: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \cos \theta \] The magnitude of the cross product is: \[ |\overset{\rarr}{A} \times \overset{\rarr}{B}| = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \sin \theta \] Setting them equal gives: \[ |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \cos \theta = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \sin \theta \] Dividing both sides by \( |\overset{\rarr}{A}| |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \) (non-zero), we get: \[ \cos \theta = \sin \theta \] This occurs when \( \theta = 45^\circ \). Thus, this relation is possible. 3. **Option C: \( |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}| = |\overset{\rarr}{A}| \)** Squaring both sides gives: \[ |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}|^2 = |\overset{\rarr}{A}|^2 \] Expanding the left side: \[ |\overset{\rarr}{A}|^2 + |\overset{\rarr}{B}|^2 + 2 \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} = |\overset{\rarr}{A}|^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ |\overset{\rarr}{B}|^2 + 2 \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} = 0 \] Since \( |\overset{\rarr}{B}|^2 \) is non-negative, this implies \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \cdot \overset{\rarr}{B} \) must be negative. This is possible if \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \) is in the opposite direction to \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \). 4. **Option D: \( |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}| > |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \)** By the triangle inequality, we know: \[ |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}| \leq |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \] Therefore, this relation cannot be true, as it contradicts the triangle inequality. ### Final Conclusion: The relations that cannot be possible are: - **Option A**: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = \overset{\rarr}{A} - \overset{\rarr}{B} \) - **Option D**: \( |\overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B}| > |\overset{\rarr}{A}| + |\overset{\rarr}{B}| \)

To solve the question regarding which relation cannot be possible between two non-zero vectors \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) and \( \overset{\rarr}{B} \), we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: \( \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{B} = \overset{\rarr}{A} - \overset{\rarr}{B} \)** Rearranging gives: \[ ...
