Question

If $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ are two collinear vectors, then which of the following is incorrect:

• $\vec b = \lambda \vec a$, for some scalar $\lambda$

• $\vec a = \pm \,\,\vec b$

• the respective components of $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ are proportional

• both the vectors $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ have same direction, but different magnitudes.

Step-by-step Solution

{Option d is Correct}

(D): Since $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ are collinear vectors, so it is not necessary that they have same direction.

$\therefore$ $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ may have opposite direction, their magnitudes may be different.
