If vec A O+ vec O B= vec B O+ vec O C ,...

If ` vec A O+ vec O B= vec B O+ vec O C` , prove that `A , B , C` are collinear points.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that,
`vec(AO)+vec(OB) = vec(BO)+vec(OC)`
`=>vec(AB) = vec(BC)`
Adding `vec(BC)` both sides,
`=> vec(AB)+vec(BC) = 2vec(BC)`
`=>vec(AC) = 2vec(BC)`
As, these two vectors pass from same point and are in same direction and one is double of other, it means
`A`,`B` and `C` are collinear.
