Correct Answer :

Option A

Solution :

The correct answer is .

We need to find the angle between vector Q and the resultant of the two vectors (2Q+2P) and (2Q-2P).

Step 1: Find the resultant of the two given vectors.

The resultant is obtained by adding the two vectors together:

Resultant = (2Q+2P) + (2Q-2P)

Step 2: Simplify the expression.

Group the Q terms and the P terms separately:

Resultant = (2Q+2Q) + (2P-2P)

Resultant = 4Q + 0

Resultant = 4Q

Notice that the P components cancel each other out completely, leaving only 4Q.

Step 3: Find the angle between Q and 4Q.

The resultant is 4Q, which is simply a scalar multiple (4 times) of the vector Q. Since multiplying a vector by a positive scalar does not change its direction, both Q and 4Q point in exactly the same direction.

Therefore, the angle between them is .
