The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and derive the necessary relationships. ### Step 1: Understand the given vectors and relationships We have a trapezium ABCD with the vector relationship given as: \[ \vec{BC} = \alpha \vec{AD} \] This means that the vector from B to C is a scalar multiple of the vector from A to D. ### Step 2: Express the vectors in terms of position vectors Let’s denote the position vectors of points A, B, C, and D as follows: - \(\vec{A} = \vec{0}\) (taking A as the origin) - \(\vec{B} = \vec{b}\) - \(\vec{C} = \vec{c}\) - \(\vec{D} = \vec{d}\) From the relationship \(\vec{BC} = \alpha \vec{AD}\), we can express this as: \[ \vec{C} - \vec{B} = \alpha (\vec{D} - \vec{A}) \implies \vec{c} - \vec{b} = \alpha \vec{d} \] ### Step 3: Express vector \(\vec{p}\) The vector \(\vec{p}\) is given as: \[ \vec{p} = \vec{AC} + \vec{BD} \] Expressing this in terms of position vectors: \[ \vec{p} = (\vec{C} - \vec{A}) + (\vec{D} - \vec{B}) = \vec{c} + \vec{d} - \vec{b} \] ### Step 4: Use the collinearity condition We know that \(\vec{p}\) is collinear with \(\vec{AD}\), which means: \[ \vec{p} = \mu \vec{AD} \implies \vec{p} = \mu (\vec{D} - \vec{A}) = \mu \vec{d} \] Thus, we have: \[ \vec{c} + \vec{d} - \vec{b} = \mu \vec{d} \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives us: \[ \vec{c} - \vec{b} = \mu \vec{d} - \vec{d} \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{c} - \vec{b} = (\mu - 1) \vec{d} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(\vec{c} - \vec{b}\) from Step 2 From Step 2, we know that: \[ \vec{c} - \vec{b} = \alpha \vec{d} \] Substituting this into the equation from Step 5 gives: \[ \alpha \vec{d} = (\mu - 1) \vec{d} \] ### Step 7: Equating coefficients Since \(\vec{d} \neq \vec{0}\), we can equate the coefficients: \[ \alpha = \mu - 1 \] Rearranging this gives: \[ \mu = \alpha + 1 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the relationship between \(\mu\) and \(\alpha\) is: \[ \mu = \alpha + 1 \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and derive the necessary relationships. ### Step 1: Understand the given vectors and relationships We have a trapezium ABCD with the vector relationship given as: \[ \vec{BC} = \alpha \vec{AD} \] This means that the vector from B to C is a scalar multiple of the vector from A to D. ...
