Question

Any vector in an arbitrary direction can always be replaced by two (or three)

• A. Parallel vectors which have the original vector as their resultant
• B. Mutually perpendicular vectors which have the original vector as their resultant
• C. Arbitrary vectors which have the original vector as their resultant
• D. It is not possible to resolve a vector

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Arbitrary vectors which have the original vector as their resultant

The explanation for the correct option:

According to the addition of vector, any vector in an arbitrary direction can always be replaced by two or three arbitrary vectors because they together produce the same effect as is produced by the given vector.
Hence, option C is correct.
