The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given about the vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \) and \( \vec{c} \). ### Step 1: Understand the collinearity conditions We know that: 1. \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) is collinear with \( \vec{c} \). 2. \( \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) is collinear with \( \vec{a} \). From the definition of collinearity, we can express these conditions mathematically: - There exists a scalar \( \lambda \) such that: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = \lambda \vec{c} \] - There exists a scalar \( \mu \) such that: \[ \vec{b} + \vec{c} = \mu \vec{a} \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equations From the second equation, we can express \( \vec{c} \) in terms of \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \): \[ \vec{c} = \frac{1}{\mu} (\vec{b} + \vec{c}) \implies \vec{c} = \mu \vec{a} - \vec{b} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( \vec{c} \) into the first equation Substituting \( \vec{c} \) from the above expression into the first equation: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = \lambda (\mu \vec{a} - \vec{b}) \] Distributing \( \lambda \): \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = \lambda \mu \vec{a} - \lambda \vec{b} \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \lambda \vec{b} = \lambda \mu \vec{a} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \vec{a} + (1 + \lambda) \vec{b} = \lambda \mu \vec{a} \] ### Step 5: Comparing coefficients Now, we can compare the coefficients of \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \): 1. Coefficient of \( \vec{a} \): \( 1 = \lambda \mu \) 2. Coefficient of \( \vec{b} \): \( 1 + \lambda = 0 \) From \( 1 + \lambda = 0 \), we find: \[ \lambda = -1 \] Substituting \( \lambda = -1 \) into \( 1 = \lambda \mu \): \[ 1 = -\mu \implies \mu = -1 \] ### Step 6: Substitute back to find \( \vec{c} \) Now substituting \( \lambda \) back into the expression for \( \vec{c} \): \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = -\vec{c} \implies \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0 \] ### Final Result Thus, we conclude that: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = \vec{0} \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given about the vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \) and \( \vec{c} \). ### Step 1: Understand the collinearity conditions We know that: 1. \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) is collinear with \( \vec{c} \). 2. \( \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) is collinear with \( \vec{a} \).
