Solution
The correct option is AQ After the vector Q is doubled , The resultant is 90o with P hence angle between P and 2Q is obtuse Let the angle be 90+θ and P be along X-axis then resultant would be along Y-axis Resolving 2Q along X-axis and Y-axis Qcosθ=resultant 2Qsinθ=P Hence, sinθ=P2Q Initially the magnitude of resultant R is
