Question:

If ABCD is a rhombus whose diagonals cut at the origin O, then $\vec{OA}+\vec{OB}+\vec{OC} +\vec{OD}$ equals

Options:

$\vec {AB}+\vec {AC}$

$\vec 0$

$2\vec {AB}+\vec {BC}$

$\vec {AC}+\vec {BD}$

Correct Answer:

$\vec 0$

Explanation:

Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.

$∴\vec{OA}=-\vec{OC}$ and $\vec{OB}=-\vec{OD}$

$⇒\vec{OA}+\vec{OB}+\vec{OC} +\vec{OD}=\vec 0$
