The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the conditions given in the problem We have three non-zero vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \) such that: 1. \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) is collinear with \( \vec{c} \). 2. \( \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) is collinear with \( \vec{a} \). ### Step 2: Express the collinearity conditions mathematically From the first condition, since \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) is collinear with \( \vec{c} \), we can write: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = \lambda \vec{c} \quad (1) \] for some scalar \( \lambda \). From the second condition, since \( \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) is collinear with \( \vec{a} \), we can write: \[ \vec{b} + \vec{c} = \mu \vec{a} \quad (2) \] for some scalar \( \mu \). ### Step 3: Substitute and manipulate the equations From equation (1), we can express \( \vec{c} \) as: \[ \vec{c} = \frac{\vec{a} + \vec{b}}{\lambda} \quad (3) \] From equation (2), we can express \( \vec{a} \) as: \[ \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{b} + \vec{c}}{\mu} \quad (4) \] ### Step 4: Substitute equation (3) into equation (4) Substituting equation (3) into equation (4): \[ \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{b} + \frac{\vec{a} + \vec{b}}{\lambda}}{\mu} \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{a} = \frac{\lambda \vec{b} + \vec{a} + \vec{b}}{\lambda \mu} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \lambda \mu \vec{a} = \lambda \vec{b} + \vec{a} + \vec{b} \] This can be further simplified to: \[ (\lambda \mu - 1) \vec{a} = (\lambda + 1) \vec{b} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the coefficients Since \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) are non-collinear, we can set the coefficients equal to zero: 1. \( \lambda \mu - 1 = 0 \) 2. \( \lambda + 1 = 0 \) From \( \lambda + 1 = 0 \), we find: \[ \lambda = -1 \] Substituting \( \lambda = -1 \) into \( \lambda \mu - 1 = 0 \): \[ -1 \cdot \mu - 1 = 0 \implies -\mu - 1 = 0 \implies \mu = -1 \] ### Step 6: Substitute back to find \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) Now substituting \( \lambda = -1 \) back into equation (1): \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = -\vec{c} \] Thus: \[ \vec{c} = -(\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \] Now substituting into \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} \): \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} - (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = 0 \] ### Final Result Thus, we conclude that: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = \vec{0} \] ### Answer The answer is (D) None of these, since the result is the zero vector.
