The resultant of and makes an angle α with and β with


Let us consider and along two sides of the parallelogram and the resultant vector along the diagonal of parallelogram. Now if we take the component of along we have B and component of perpendicular to we get A as illustrated above.


Now consider OAX, AX =OA=|A|


Now consider AXR, , XR=OB=|B|


In AXR, if we apply the Pythagoras theorem, we get


, , |A|=|B|


Thus, we have , now if ,,{


, , implies |A|>|B| for .


Hence option C satisfies our condition best.
