The points are A(1, 1, 2), B(3, 2, 4) and C(7, 5, 6) are- |
Collinear Non-collinear May or may not be collinear None of these |
Non-collinear |
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. |
