Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
Maths Class
12 Ex 10.2 Question 19.
If are two collinear vectors, then which of the following are incorrect:
(B)
(C) the respective components of are
proportional.
(D) both the vectors have same direction, but different magnitudes.
Solution:
Since both the vectors ,
being collinear, are not necessarily in the same direction. They may have
opposite directions. Their magnitudes may be different.
Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
