$A B C D E F$ is a regular hexagon. The sum of the vectors $\mathbf{B E}, \mathbf{B C}, \mathbf{E F}, \mathbf{B A}, \mathbf{C F}, \mathbf{A F}$
  1. BF
  2. 2BF
  3. FB
  4. 3BF

Solution

Given, $A B C D E F$ is a regular hexagon $\mathbf{B E}+\mathbf{B C}+\mathbf{E F}+\mathbf{B A}+\mathbf{C F}+\mathbf{A B}$ $\begin{aligned}=O E-O B & +O C-O B+O F-O E \\ & +O A-O B+O F-O C+O F-O A\end{aligned}$ $=3 \mathrm{OF}-3 \mathrm{OB}=3(\mathrm{OF}-\mathrm{OB})=3 \mathrm{BF}$
