Which of the following is the condition for two vectors to be Collinear?(a) The vectors should be parallel to the same line(b) The vectors should have the same initial point(c) The vectors should have the same magnitude(d) The vectors should have the magnitude 1 and 0 respectivelyI had been asked this question in an online quiz.My question is taken from Types of Vectors topic in portion Vector Algebra of Mathematics – Class 12 |
|
Answer» RIGHT option is (a) The vectors should be PARALLEL to the same LINE The explanation is: If two or more vectors are parallel to the same line then they are called collinear vectors. It is not necessary that they should have the same MAGNITUDE and direction. |
