Correct option-3

Concept:

The parallelogram law:

Let R be the resultant of two vectors A and B.

According to the parallelogram law of vector addition, the resultant R is the diagonal of the parallelogram of which A and Bare the adjacent sides as shown in the figure.

Scalar or Dot Product

The scalar or dot product of two vectors A and B is denoted by A•B and is read as A dot B.

It is defined as the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors A and B and the cosine of their included angle θ.

Thus, A•B = AB cosθ (a scalar quantity)
