Question:medium

Which of the following statements is/are true?
• [(A)] Three vectors not lying in a plane give zero resultant
• [(B)] Three vectors lying in a plane can give zero resultant
• [(C)] Two vectors of different magnitude can be combined to give a zero resultant

Show Hint

The minimum number of non-coplanar (3D) vectors needed to get a zero resultant is $4$. The minimum number of coplanar vectors needed to get a zero resultant when they have different magnitudes is $3$. For $2$ vectors, they must be equal and opposite!
