Solution

The correct option is A Between 1N and 7N
The resultant of two vector A and B is A2+B2+2ABcosθ. Where, θ is the angle between them. Now θ can vary from 0 to 180 degree which makes the resultant vector to vary from (A+B) to (AB). Here, for two forces of magnitude 3N and 4N the net force can vary from 1N to 7N according to the angle between them.
