No. For three vectors they must all lie in the same plane. Consider 2 vectors first. For them to resolve to zero, they must be in opposite direction and equal magnitude. So they will lie along the same line.
For 3 vectors: take two of them. Any two vectors will lie in the same plane, and their resultant vector will also lie in that plane. Find the resultant of the first two vectors, and the third vector must be along the same line (equal magnitude, opposite direction), in order to result to zero.
Since the third vector is along the same line as the resultant vector of the first two, then it must be in the same plane as the resultant of the first two. Therefore it lies in the same plane as the first two.

Can three vectors of equal magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant?
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other vectors.
Can three vectors of different magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant and can three vectors?
Yes.
Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant if not can three vectors be combine?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
Can 4 vectors not in a plane give zero resultant?
Yes if you put them "head to tail" and the head of the fourth one points to the tail of the first one the resultant is zero.
Ten vectors together add to give a zero resultant it is possible that nine of these vectors are on the same plane but the tenth is not on this plane?
No. The tenth vector would have to be matched by one equal and opposite vector to yield a zero resultant, or by multiple vectors in the second plain collectively yielding a zero resultant for that plane. It would be possible, for example, for 8 vectors to be on the same plane and two on a different plane to give a zero resultant.

Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
Can three vectors lying in plane give zero resultant?
yes the resultant of the two vectors can be zero.it can be illustrated by drawing following diagram.a triangle may be considered as a vector diagram in which the force polygon close and the resultant of the three vectors is zero.
Can 4 vectors not in a plane give zero resultant?
Yes if you put them "head to tail" and the head of the fourth one points to the tail of the first one the resultant is zero.
How many minimum of vectors are required in space to get resultant zero?
Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.
What does the addition of 2 vectors give you?
a resultant vector
Can two vectors of different magnitudes give a zero resultant?
No.
Is it possible to combine two unequal vectors to give a zero resultant?
No.
