Two vectors $\vec A$ and $\vec B$ have magnitudes $2$ and $1$ respectively. If the angle between $\vec A$ and $\vec B$ is $60^{\circ}$,then which of the following vectors may be equal to $\frac{\vec A}{2} - \vec B$?

The figure shows three vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$,where $R$ is the midpoint of $PQ$. Which of the following relations is correct?

Statement $I:$ Two forces $(\overrightarrow{P}+\overrightarrow{Q})$ and $(\overrightarrow{P}-\overrightarrow{Q})$,where $\overrightarrow{P} \perp \overrightarrow{Q}$,act at an angle $\theta_{1}$ to each other,and the magnitude of their resultant is $\sqrt{3(P^{2}+Q^{2})}$. When they act at an angle $\theta_{2}$,the magnitude of their resultant becomes $\sqrt{2(P^{2}+Q^{2})}$. This is possible only when $\theta_{1} < \theta_{2}$.
Statement $II:$ In the situation given above,$\theta_{1} = 60^{\circ}$ and $\theta_{2} = 90^{\circ}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
