Solution
The correct option is D
Let's go on using what we know already. That is our beloved triangle law of addition and see what we arrive at
We start by adding →A & →B. Vector B's foot is already placed on the head of vector A so to find the
resultant we just need to join the foot of A to head of B and we get vector A + B. Now adding vector A + B & C in the similar fashion we get vectorA+B+C. So if you keep on going you get the final vector →A+→B+→C+→D+→E . So option D is correct.
Or since all of them are placed in a form of a polygon already, so I don't need to do all this. Just simply add the tail of the first to the head of the last.
