Correct answer: C, D
- Write the points on the three lines in coordinate form
Given:
-
So a general point on is -
So a general point on is -
So a general point on is
We need those points on for which there exist some and such that are collinear.
- Use collinearity condition
If are collinear, then vectors and must be parallel.
Now,
For collinearity, there must exist some scalar such that
Equating components:
We need only the possible values of .
- Find condition on using two-point form of line
A cleaner way is to parametrize the line joining and .
A general point on line is So its coordinates are
Thus,
Since lies on , we need Hence, so Also, so as long as , we can choose Now impose the -coordinate condition: Simplify: So,
Therefore, for any , we can choose suitable and .
What about ? Then from which is impossible. So is not allowed.
What about ? Then and from impossible. So is also not allowed.
Hence the required points on are exactly those with
