Three vectors A, B, and C add together to yield zero: A+B+C-0. The vectors and point in opposite directions and their magnitudes are related by the expression: A = 2C. Which one of the following conclusions is correct? OA and B have equal magnitudes and point in opposite directions. A and B point in the same direction, but A has twice the magnitude of B. B and Chave equal magnitudes and point in the same direction. B and C have equal magnitudes and point in opposite directions. B and C point in the same direction, but has twice the magnitude of B.
