Scalar quantity has only magnitude , but no direction while vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.You can understand it by comparing speed and velocity.Velocity has magnitude of speed in a particular direction (or say displacement/time take) while speed only defines the rate of distance covered (no direction).

If you are still unable to get your answer for your question then please, elaborate or give some description of extension.

Is scalar quantiy is added with vector quantity?

No, a scalar quantity cannot be added to a vector quantity directly. They belong to different types of quantities - scalars have only magnitude while vectors have both magnitude and direction. To add a scalar to a vector, you would need to convert the scalar to a vector by giving it a direction and then perform vector addition.
