What should be the angle between the two vectors of magnitudes 3.20and 5.70 units so that their resultant has a magnitudeof 10 units?

The maximum value that the combination of two vectors can have is sum of their magnitudes which in this case is 8.9. This maximum value is less than the needed 10, therefore no angle between them will produce the necessary resultant.

Is it possible to add two vectors having different magnitudes and yield zero resultant?
It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.
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.

Can the magnitude of a resultant vector be greater than the sum of individual vectors?
The resultant vector IS the sum of the individual vectors. Its magnitudecan be the sum of their individual magnitudes or less, but not greater.
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.

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.
