    The direction of vector \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,\] is reversed. What are the values of \[\Delta \overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,\]A and\[\Delta |\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,|\]?

    A) \[+2\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,,\,\,0\]                         

    B) \[+\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,,\,\,0\]

    C) \[-\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,,\,\,0\]                            

    D) \[-2\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,,\,\,0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: When direction of a vector is reversed it has same magnitude but with minus sign. The value of                 \[\Delta \overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,=\Delta \overset{\to }{\mathop{{{\mathbf{A}}_{2}}}}\,-\Delta \overset{\to }{\mathop{{{\mathbf{A}}_{1}}}}\,\] Given,   \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{{{\mathbf{A}}_{1}}}}\,=A,\,\,\overset{\to }{\mathop{{{\mathbf{A}}_{2}}}}\,=-A\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta \overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,=-A-A=-2\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,\] Also,      \[|\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,|=|-\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,|\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta |\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{A}}}\,|=0\]
