SUMMARY
The discussion centers on a vector analysis problem where the user derived the equation C vector - D vector = -A vector but received feedback indicating it was incorrect. Participants suggest that the question may contain a typo, implying it should ask for the correct option instead. The consensus is that only option (i) is correct based on the vector relationships presented. This indicates potential flaws in computerized testing systems that may mislabel correct answers.
