If OACB is a parallelogrma with vec( OC)...

If OACB is a parallelogrma with `vec( OC) = vec(a) ` and `vec( AB) = vec(b)` then `vec(OA)` is equal to

A

`vec a + vec b `

B

`vec a - vec b `

C

`(1)/(2) (vec b - vec a )`

D

`(1)/(2) ( vec a - vec b ) `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In `Delta OAC,` we have
`O vec A + A vec C =O vec C rArr O vec A + vec b = vec a rArr O vec A = vec a - vec b `
