Solution
The correct option is C c, d, b, a Let, →S=→A−→B So, →S.→S=(→A−→B).(→A−→B) For a): |→S|2=|→A|2+|→B|2−2|→A||→B|cos60o=|→A|2+|→B|2−|→A||→B| For b) : |→S|2=|→A|2+|→B|2−2|→A||→B|cos90o=|→A|2+|→B|2 For c) : |→S|2=|→A|2+|→B|2−2|→A||→B|cos180o=|→A|2+|→B|2+2|→A||→B| For d) : |→S|2=|→A|2+|→B|2−2|→A||→B|cos120o=|→A|2+|→B|2+|→A||→B| Thus, the descending order : c>d>b>a
