Solution

(i) Vectors having the same or parallel supports are called collinear vector.
In the given figure the collinear vectors are
$\vec{a}, \vec{d}; \vec{x}, \vec{z}, \vec{b}; \vec{c}, \vec{y}$

(ii) Vectors having the same magnitude and direction are called equal vector.
In the given figure the equal vectors are
$\vec{b,} \vec{x}; \vec{c}, \vec{y}; \vec{a}, \vec{d}$

(iii) Vectors having the same initial point are called co-initial vector.
In the given figure the co-initial vectors are
$\vec{a}, \vec{y}, \vec{z}$

(iv) The vectors which are collinear but not equal are $\vec{b}, \vec{z}; \vec{x}, \vec{z}$
