OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
I think a) should be right.
Since component will always be smaller than the vector itself!
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
when the vector is vertical - its vertical component is equal to its magnitude
when a vector is horizontal - its horizontal component is equal to its magnitude
anything in between mens its horizontal and vertical components are less than its magnitude
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
*means
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
does that make sense?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
ya can u give me an example of a vector whose component is bigger than that vector.
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
that can never happen
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
than option a) should be right; shouldn't it?
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
no
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
Why?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):
from the explanations I gave above, the components of a vector are always less than or equal to the magnitude of the vector
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
k!
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
(a) implies the components can never be equal to its magnitude - which is not correct
