What happens to the direction and magnitude of a vector when it is multiplied by a positive and a negative scalar $\lambda$?

  • A
    Positive $\lambda$: Same direction,magnitude scaled by $\lambda$; Negative $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $|\lambda|$.
  • B
    Positive $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $\lambda$; Negative $\lambda$: Same direction,magnitude scaled by $|\lambda|$.
  • C
    Positive $\lambda$: Same direction,magnitude remains same; Negative $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude remains same.
  • D
    Positive $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $\lambda$; Negative $\lambda$: Opposite direction,magnitude scaled by $|\lambda|$.
