Let and be three non-zero vectors such that and are non-collinear. If is collinear with is collinear with and , then is equal to
- A30
- B30
- C25
- D35
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Let So there exists a scalar such that \vec a+5\vec b=\lambda \vec c \quad \Rightarrow \quad \vec a=-5\vec b+\lambda \vec c. \tag{1}
-
Also, Hence there exists a scalar such that \vec b+6\vec c=\mu \vec a. \tag{2}
-
Substitute (1) into (2): Comparing coefficients of the non-collinear vectors and :
From , Then
-
Therefore from (1),
-
Given Substituting :
Since and are non-collinear, they are linearly independent. Hence So
-
Thus,
Therefore, the correct option is D.
