Geometrical method of addition of vectors is
Correct answer: A. Head-to-tail rule method
- A. Head-to-tail rule method
- B. Rectangular components method
- C. Right hand rule method
- D. Hit and trial method
Explanation
The geometric method of vector addition involves drawing the single vectors head to tail, meaning that the tip of one arrow intersects the tail end of the other arrow. The resultant then goes from the unconnected tail to the unconnected tip

About Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
