Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
What is the least number of non-zero vectors that can be added to give a resultant equal to zero?
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
Can three vectors of equal magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant?
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other vectors.
Is it possible two unequal vector to give a zero resultant?
The only way that two vectors add up to zero is if they have equal magnitude and opposite direction. If the magnitudes are not equal then no, they cannot give a zero resultant.
Can three vectors of different magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant and can three vectors?
Yes.

Yes.
If two vector have equal magnitudes can their sum be zero Explain?
Sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So no two vector of unequal magnitude cannot be added to give null vector. Three vectors of equal magnitude and making an angle 120 degrees with each other gives a zero resultant.
Can two vectors of unequal magnitude add up to give the zero vector?
No. The vector resultant of addition of vectors is the vector that would connect the tail of the first vector to the head of the last. For any set of vectors to add to the zero vector, the endpoint of the last vector added must be coincident with the start point of the first. Therefore for the sum of only two vectors to have a chance of being the zero vector, the second vector must be in a direction exactly opposite the first. So you can tell that the result of adding the two vectors could only can be zero vector if the two vectors were of two equal magnitude.
How two vectors of same magnitude be oriented to give a resultant of same magnitude?
at 120 degree
Can three vectors not in one plane give zero resultant?
No. For three vectors they must all lie in the same plane. Consider 2 vectors first. For them to resolve to zero, they must be in opposite direction and equal magnitude. So they will lie along the same line. For 3 vectors: take two of them. Any two vectors will lie in the same plane, and their resultant vector will also lie in that plane. Find the resultant of the first two vectors, and the third vector must be along the same line (equal magnitude, opposite direction), in order to result to zero. Since the third vector is along the same line as the resultant vector of the first two, then it must be in the same plane as the resultant of the first two. Therefore it lies in the same plane as the first two.
Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant if not can three vectors be combine?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
What' does the addition of two vectors give you?
In vector addition, the sum of two (or more) vectors will give a resultant vector. There are a number of sites that will help you with tutorials. A link to one can be found below.
