Option (5)

Explanation:

Formula to get the resolved part of a vector vecVV along the direction making an angle thetaθ with it is given by

vecV_"resolved part"=vecVcosthetaVresolved part=Vcosθ

vecAA makes an angle theta=0^@θ=0 with the X-axis and it makes an angle theta=90^@θ=90 with the Y-axis.

So its resolved part along X-axis

vecA_x=vecAcos0^@Ax=Acos0

And its resolved part along Y-axis

vecA_y=vecAcos90^@Ay=Acos90

Again vecBB makes an angle theta=(180^@-60^@)θ=(18060) with the X-axis and it makes an angle theta=30^@θ=30 with the Y-axis.

So its resolved part along X-axis

vecB_x=vecBcos(180^@-60^@)=-Bcos60^@Bx=Bcos(18060)=Bcos60

And its resolved part along Y-axis

vecB_y=vecBcos30^@By=Bcos30
