Solution

The correct option is B

2yx=0


Step 1. Given data:

The first force, F1=1unit, acts along y axis

The second force, F2=2unit acts along xaxis

Step 2. Resultant equation

According to given question, the resultant force is in direction (2,1) with respect to origin

the points are,

(x1,y1)=(0,0)(x2,y2)=(2,1)

The slope is,

y2-y1x2-x1=slope=m1-02-0=mm=12

The equation of line is,

y-y1=mx-x1y-0=12x-02y-x=0

Hence, option B is correct
