On the coordinate plane, there are two arbitrary distinct vectors $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } } , \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OQ } }$ with initial point at the origin O. When the endpoints $\mathrm { P } , \mathrm { Q }$ of the two vectors are translated 3 units in the $x$-direction and 1 unit in the $y$-direction to points $\mathrm { P } ^ { \prime } , \mathrm { Q } ^ { \prime }$ respectively, which of the following statements in are always true? [3 points]

ㄱ. $\left| \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } } - \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } ^ { \prime } } \right| = \sqrt { 10 }$ ㄴ. $| \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } } - \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OQ } } | = \left| \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } ^ { \prime } } - \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OQ } ^ { \prime } } \right|$ ㄷ. $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } } \cdot \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OQ } } = \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OP } ^ { \prime } } \cdot \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OQ } ^ { \prime } }$

10. AC
Solution: $\left| \overrightarrow { O P _ { 1 } } \right| = \left| \overrightarrow { O P _ { 2 } } \right| = 1$, so A is correct; $\left| \overrightarrow { A P _ { 1 } } \right| ^ { 2 } = 2 - 2 \cos \alpha , \left| \overrightarrow { A P _ { 2 } } \right| ^ { 2 } = 2 - 2 \cos \beta$, so B is incorrect; $\overrightarrow { O P _ { 1 } } \cdot \overrightarrow { O P _ { 2 } } \sin \alpha \sin \beta = \cos ( \alpha + \beta ) = \overrightarrow { O A } \cdot \overrightarrow { O P _ { 3 } }$, so C is correct; $\overrightarrow { O P _ { 2 } } \cdot \overrightarrow { O P _ { 3 } } = \cos ( \alpha + \beta ) \cos \beta - \sin ( \alpha + \beta ) \sin \beta \neq \overrightarrow { O P _ { 1 } } = \cos \alpha$, so D is incorrect. The answer is $AC$.

Assertion $A$ : If $A , B , C , D$ are four points on a semi-circular arc with a centre at $O$ such that $| \overrightarrow { A B } | = | \overrightarrow { B C } | = | \overrightarrow { C D } |$. Then, $\overrightarrow { A B } + \overrightarrow { A C } + \overrightarrow { A D } = 4 \overrightarrow { A O } + \overrightarrow { O B } + \overrightarrow { O C }$
Reason $R$ : Polygon law of vector addition yields $\overrightarrow { A B } + \overrightarrow { B C } + \overrightarrow { C D } + \overrightarrow { A D } = 2 \overrightarrow { A O }$
