Let we have two vectors A and B, then according to subtraction of vector, we can write _.
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Subtracting the vector B from the vector A, which is written as A − B, is the same as A + (−B). Since it does not matter in what order vectors are added, A − B is also equal to (−B) + A. This is true for scalars as well as vectors.

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.
