Solution

The correct option is C $\to C$ must be less than $| \to A - \to B |$
As we know,
$C = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} + 2 A B c o s θ}$
$c o s (120^{0}) = - 0.5$
so,
$R = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} - A B}$

And $| \to A - \to B | = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} - 2 A B c o s θ}$
so,
$| \to A - \to B | = \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2} + A B}$

From the above result
option B is correct.

Let the angle between two nonzero vectors →A and →B be 120o and resultant be →C

The correct option is C →C must be less than |→A−→B|As we know,C=√A2+B2+2ABcosθcos(1200)=−0.5so,R=√A2+B2−ABAnd |→A−→B|=√A2+B2−2ABcosθso,|→A−→B|=√A2+B2+ABFrom the above result option B is correct.
