(a) a, b, c, and d must each be a null vector

(b) The magnitude of (a + c) equals the magnitude of (b + d)

(c) The magnitude of a can never be greater than the sum of the magnitudes of b, c, and d

(d) b + c must lie in the plane of a and d if a and d are not collinear, and in the line of a and d, if they are collinear?

(b)
a + b + c +d = 0, ( a + c ) = - (b + d)

Taking the magnitude of both LHS and RHS, | a + c| = | -(b + d)| = | b + d|

So the statement is True.

 

(c) Given a + b + c + d =
