Three points with position vectors `vec(a), vec(b), vec(c ) ` will be collinear if there exist scalars x, y, z such thatA. x a + y b = z cB. xa + yb + zc = 0C. xa + yb + zc = 0D. xa + yb = c |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Let A, B and C be the points with position vectors a, b and c respectively. These points will be collinear, if `AB = lambda AC` `implies b-a=lambda(c-a)` `implies (lambda-1)a+b+(-lambda)c=0` `implies xa+yb+zc=0` where, `x = lambda - 1, y = 1, z = - lambda` `implies xa + yb + zc = 0` such that x + y + z = 0 |
