Solution
The correct option is B Cannot be zero. Resultant of vectors →A and →B lie in the same plane in which →A and →B lie. So, it makes some angle with vector →C which lies outside the plane. Hence, the resultant of these vectors cannot be zero and it can lie in between the plane containing resultant of vectors →A and →B and plane containing vector →C
