-- The minimum magnitude that can result from the combination of two vectors is the difference between their magnitudes. If their magnitudes are different, then they can't combine to produce zero. -- But three or more vectors with different magnitudes can combine to produce a zero magnitude.
Yes. Any number of vectors, two or more, can result in zero, if their magnitudes and directions are just right. One vector can result in zero only if its magnitude is zero.
With three vectors spaced 120 degrees apart and with identical magnitudes the vector sum will be 0.
c) 1,2,1
yes, as long as they have 120 degrees separating them from each other, (360/3). all vectors must have total x and y component values of 0.
Two vectors with unequal magnitudes can't add to zero, but three or more can.
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.

Yes. Any number of vectors, two or more, can result in zero, if their magnitudes and directions are just right. One vector can result in zero only if its magnitude is zero.
If all magnitudes are different, then minimum is three.

c) 1,2,1
Yes. The largest vector is given a certain direction. The remaining two vectors (each different in length) when combined, equal the length of the largest, and are 180 degrees out of phase with the largest.
The term collinear is used to describe vectors which are scalar multiples of one another (they are parallel; can have different magnitudes in the same or opposite direction). The term coplanar is used to describe vectors in at least 3-space. Coplanar vectors are three or more vectors that lie in the same plane (any 2-D flat surface).
