Keeping the magnitude and the angle of the vectors same, if the direction of $P$ and $Q$ is interchanged, then their is a change in which of the following with regard to $R$ ?

Motion in a Plane

Solution:

Since, the magnitude and angle between the vectors is unchanged, so the magnitude of the resultant $R$ will be same. However, the direction of $R$ will get changed.
