The negative of vector C is represented as:
Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The negative of a vector a is a vector that is obtained by multiplying it by -1. i.e., the negative of a is the vector -a. Here, a and -a are of same magnitudes but are in opposite directions.

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.
