If a number of forces are acting at a point, their resultant is given by

A $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2}$$
B $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2}} $$
C $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)$$
D $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)} $$

Correct Answer: $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2}} $$
