Question
The three points whose position vectors are ^i+2^j+3^k,3^i+4^j+7^k and−3^i−2^j−5^k
Answer: Option C
:
C
If A, B, C are the given points respectively, then
→OA=^i+2^j+3^k,→OB=3^i+4^j+7^k,→OC=−3^i−2^j−5^k,→AB=→OB−→OA=2^i+2^j+4^k,→AC=→OC−→OA=−4^i−4^j−8^k=−2→AB
∴→AB,→AC are collinear ⇒A,B,C are collinear.
