Solution

The correct option is C Both A and R are true, but R is not correct explanation of A
Vector is defined by its direction and its magnitude but not by its position in space i.e. if a vector is displaced parallel to itself (without changing its magnitude and its direction) then it does not change , it remains equal.
The reason given is a condition for parallel vectors of same magnitude and is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
