Suppose you have two vectors that have different magnitudes can the vectors sum ever be zero?
No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.
What is the minimum possible resultant of two vectors with magnitudes of 4 and 5?
One.One.

What is the maximum possible resultant of two vectors with the magnitudes of 4 and 5 units?
The maximum resultant is when both vectors are in the same direction. In this case, you just add 4 and 5.
What should be the angle between two vectors of magnitudes 8 and 8 units so that their resultant has a magnitude of 20 units?
It is not possible. The maximum magnitude is obtained when the vectors are aligned and in this case the resultant has a magnitude which is the sum of the individual vectors. In the given example, the maximum possible magnitude for the resultant is 16 units. In general |a+b| <= |a| + |b| where a, b are vectors and |a| is the magnitude of a

No.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.

What is the angle between two vectors if their sum is to be maximum?
The resultant vector has maximum magnitude if the vectors act in concert. That is, if the angle between them is 0 radians (or degrees). The magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of the vectors.For two vectors, the resultant is a minimum if the vectors act in opposition, that is the angle between them is pi radians (180 degrees). In this case the resultant has a magnitude that is equal to the difference between the two vectors' magnitudes, and it acts in the direction of the larger vector.At all other angles, the resultant vector has intermediate magnitudes.
How many minimum no of coplaner vectors having different magnitude can be added to given zero resultant?
If all magnitudes are different, then minimum is three.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant.is it possible for three such vectors?
Two vectors with unequal magnitudes can't add to zero, but three or more can.
