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` , then `A ,Bn a dC` are (where `O` is the origin) a. coplanar b. collinear c. non-collinear d. none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have, `vec(AO) + vec(OB) = vec(BO ) + vec(OC)`
`rArr vec(AB) = vec(BC)`
Since the initial point of `vec(BC)` is the terminal point of `vec(AB), A, B and C` are collinear.
