In Figure, identify the following vector | Class 12 Mathematics Chapter Vector Algebra, Vector Algebra NCERT Solutions

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Mathematics - Chapter Vector Algebra. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 4: . With detailed answers and explanations for each chapter, students can strengthen their understanding and prepare confidently for exams. Ideal for CBSE and other board students, this resource will simplify your study experience.

Question 4:

In Figure, identify the following vectors.

(i) Coinitial (ii) Equal (iii) Collinear but not equal

Answer:

\begin{align} (i) \;Vectors\; \overrightarrow{a}\; and\; \overrightarrow{d}\; are \;coinitial\; because\; they\; have\; the\; same \;initial \;point. \end{align}

\begin{align}(ii)\; Vectors\;\overrightarrow{b} \;and\;\overrightarrow{d}\; are\; equal\; because\; they\; have\; the\; same \;magnitude \;and\; direction. \end{align}

\begin{align}(iii)\; Vectors\;\overrightarrow{a} \;and\; \overrightarrow{c} \;are\; collinear\; but\; not\; equal\;. This\; is\; because\; although\; they\; are \;parallel,\; their\; directions\; are\; not \;the\; same.\end{align}
