(a) 0^@
Since the magnitude of resultant is equal to the sum of magnitudes of two displacements.
|vecR|=|vecA|+|vecB|

(b) 180^@
Since the magnitude of resultant is equal to the difference of magnitudes of two displacements. (assuming |vecA|>|vecB|)
|vecR|=|vecA|-|vecB|
(b) 90^@
Since the square of magnitude of resultant is equal to sum of squares of magnitudes of two displacements. This is true only in case of a right triangle.
|vecR|^2=|vecA|^2+|vecB|^2
