Yes, a physical quantity can have magnitude and direction but still be a scalar if it doesn't obey the vector addition. An example is Electric Current which has magnitude and a fixed direction, but it does not follow vector laws of addition.

Yes, if the angle between the two vectors is more than 90^o but less than 270⁰. (cosΘ is negative)

It is theoretically possible for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity, which means that the substance would contract rather than expand when the temperature increases. However, it is very rare for a substance to have a negative value of cubical expansivity over a significant range of temperatures.

One example of a substance that has a negative value of cubical expansivity over a limited range of temperatures is water. Water has a positive value of cubical expansivity at...

Log_2aa=x    then, a=(2a)^x  ......(1)

Log_3a2a=y    then,2a=(3a)^y ......(2)

Log_4a 3a=z  then, 3a=(4a)^z ......(3)

So, 

a=(2a)^x  [from (1)]

Or, a=(3a)^xy    [from(2)]

Or, a=(4a)^xyz     [from(3)]

Multiplying both sides by 4a,

4a.a=4a.(4a)^xyz  

Or,(2a)² =(4a)^{xyz + 1} 

Or,(3a)^2y =(4a)^xyz+1 

Or,(4a)^2yz =(4a)^xyz+1 

Or, 2yz = xyz+1 .proved.
