The points are A(1, 1, 2), B(3, 2, 4) and C(7, 5, 6) are-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
the given points are A(1, 1, 2), B(3, 2, 4) and C(7, 5, 6)
We know that the direction ratios of the line joining the points (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2) are given by (x2-x1), (y2-y1) and (z2-z1)
The direction ratio of AB are (3-1), (2-1) and (4-2) i.e. 2, 1 and 2
The direction ratio of BC are (7- 3), (5-2) and (6-4) i.e. 4,3 and 2
It can be seen that the direction ratios of BC are not a multiple of AB i.e. they are not proportional.
So points A, B and C are non-collinear.
