Collinearity of three points
Three points are collinear if ar(ABC)=0 or AB || BC || CA
Example ^ - 3b,
If 2a ^ ^b and a^ - b
^ are position vectors of three points A, B and
C then they are -
A. Collinear B. Non-collinear
C. Can’t say anything D. None of these
Example If A ≡ (2i^ + 3j),
^ B ≡ (pi
^ + 9j)
^ and C ≡ (i^ - ^j) are collinear, then the
value of p is-
A. 1/2 B. 3/2
C. 7/2 D. 5/2

Example Let a and b two unit vectors such that a . b = 0. For some x, y ∈ R,
let ➝ ➝+ yb
c = xa ➝+ (a
➝⨉ ➝ ➝ = 2 and the vector ➝
b). If |c| c is inclined at
➝ ➝
the same angle 𝝰 to both a and b, then the value of 8 cos2 𝝰 is

Example Find
I. a vector of magnitude √6 perpendicular to the plane ABC
II. Area of triangle ABC
III. Length of the altitude from from A
A(1, -1, 2)

Example Let OA = a, OB = 10a + 2b and OC = b where O, A & C non-collinear
points. Let ‘p’ denote the area of the quadrilateral OABC, and let ‘q’
denotes the area of the parallelogram with OA and OC as adjacent
sides. If p = kq. Find k.
