Assertion A: If A, B, C, D are four points on a semi-circular arc with centre at 'O' such that |AB| = |BC| = |CD|, then AB + AC + AD = 4AO + OB + OC
Reason R: Polygon law of vector addition yields AB + BC + CD = AD = 2AO

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -

A is not correct but R is correct.

Option 2 -

A is correct but R is not correct.

Option 3 -

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Option 4 -

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

| P | = | Q | = x

let the angle between P a n d Q  is , so according to question, we can write 

| P + Q | = n × | P Q | P 2 + Q 2 + 2 P Q c o s θ = n × P 2 + Q 2 2 P Q c o s θ

x 2 + x 2 + 2 x 2 c o s θ = n × x 2 + x 2 2 x 2 c o s θ

θ = c o s 1 ( n 2 1 n 2 + 1 )

Graphically, we place vectors head-to-tail. Analytically, we add components along axes using coordinate geometry, trigonometric functions, and unit vectors for precise vector resultant calculation.

It resolves vectors into components, adds corresponding x and y values algebraically, then reconstructs the resultant using magnitude and direction. That is, applying vector addition rules.
