Statement 1 : If three point P, Q and R ...

Statement 1 : If three point P, Q and R have position vectors `veca, vecb and vecc`, respectively, and `2 veca + 3vecb - 5vecc=0`, then the point P, Q and R must be collinear.
Statement 2 : If for three points A, B and C, `vec(AB) = lamda vec(AC)`, then points A, B and C must be collinear.
