Q4 of 60 Page 29

The x-component of the resultant of several vectors

The sum of the magnitudes of the vectors is the numerical sum, while the x-component of the resultant vector is the algebraic sum of the x-component of the vectors and will never be greater than the former thus except option C all other are true.
