If two non-zero vectors a and b are parallel to each other, then:
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
If two non-zero vectors a and b are parallel to each other, it means that they have the same direction. In this case, the dot product of the two vectors will not be zero. The dot product will be equal to the product of their magnitudes.

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.
