If the sum of their components in any two orthogonal directions is zero, the resultant is zero. Alternatively, show that the resultant of any two vectors has the same magnitude but opposite direction to the third.
Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.
Yes, a resultant vector is the vector sum of the two vectors. It has it's own direction and magnitude.
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.
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
