What are the conditions for maximum and minimum sum or resultant of two vectors?

We have 2 vectors: AC, BD. Then |AC| = a and |BD|=b (i want to make it easier)
and sum i'll call s , where s = AC + BD (we're adding vectors)
there is an equation:
s2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos x , where x is an angle between vectors a and b.
The sum has a maximum value when x = 0
and the minimum value when x=180*=pi (rad)

How many minimum of vectors are required in space to get resultant zero?
Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.
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 is the minimum number of vectors in different planes that can be added to give a zero resultant?
There is no minimum.
What should be the angle for the resultant of two vectors to be maximum?

What must the anglebetween two vectors to get maximum resultant?
Zero degree
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.

One.One.
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

Is resultant a vector quantity?
The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.
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.
When do two vectors have maximum and minimum magnitude?
Two vectors are max when parallel and min when anti-parallel.
