The position vectors of the points A, B, C are `2 hati + hatj - hatk , 3 hati - 2 hatj + hatk and hati + 4hatj - 3 hatk ` respectively . These pointsA. form an isosceles triangleB. form a right triangleC. are collinearD. form a scalene triangle

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let `veca = 2 hati + hatj - hatk , vec b = 3 hati - 2 hatj + hatk and vec c = hati + 4 hatj - 3 hat k . ` Then,
` A vec B = vec b - vec a = hati -3 hatj + 2 hatk and B vec C = 2 hati + 6 hat j - 4hatk `
Clearly , `B vec C = -2 A vec B = 2 B vec A `
So, points A, B, C are collinear.
