Two vectors are said to be equal if – (1) only their magnitudes are same (2) only their directions are same (3) both magnitude and direction are same (4) magnitudes are same but directions are opposite

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) both magnitude and direction are same Explanation: If the magnitude as well as direction of two vectors are equal, then they are known as equal vectors. In other words, two vectors are said to be equal, if they possess equal magnitude and are headed towards the same direction. For two equal vectors, their directed line segments must be parallel.
