Which of the following statement is correct?
A. The algebraic sum of the forces, constituting the couple is zero
B. The algebraic sum of the forces, constituting the couple, about any point is the same
C. A couple cannot be balanced by a single force but can be balanced only by a couple of opposite sense
D. All of the above
Answer: Option D
The resultant of two equal forces P making an angle $$\theta ,$$ is given by

A. Equal to
B. Less than
C. Greater than
D. None of these

B. $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2}} $$
C. $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)$$
D. $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)} $$
