The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$|\vec{P}+\vec{Q}|=|2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}|$
$ = |2 i-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}|$
$=\sqrt{2^{2}+2^{2}+2^{2}}=2 \sqrt{3}$

What is a Vector Quantity?

Vector Quantity is a physical quantity that is specified not only by its magnitude but also by its direction. A vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to one and has direction is called a unit vector.

Examples of vector quantity are-

  • Displacement
  • Linear momentum
  • Momentum
  • Acceleration
  • Force
  • Electric field
  • Angular velocity
  • Polarization
