Answer #1

Given vector units in the positive y-axis and vector B= 1 in the negative y-axis. So the angle between the two vectors is .

Since the two vectors are opposite in direction, the direction of the resultant will be in the direction of the vector having larger magnitude. So the direction of is along positive y-axis.
