Solution
The correct option is C→0 Let →V=−−→OAsin2A+−−→OBsin2B+−−→OCsin2C Taking dot product with −−→OA, we get →V⋅−−→OA=−−→OA⋅−−→OAsin2A+−−→OB⋅−−→OAsin2B+−−→OC⋅−−→OBsin2C....(1)
Now −−→OB⋅−−→OA=R2cos2C Similarly, −−→OC⋅−−→OA=R2cos2B and −−→OA⋅−−→OA=R2
Now A+B+C=π ⇒2A+2B+2C=2π sin(2B+2C)=sin(2π−2A)=−sin2A Putting this value in (2) →V⋅−−→OA=0→→V=0 or →V⊥−−→OA Similarly, →V⋅−−→OB=0→→V=0 or →V⊥−−→OB →V⋅−−→OC=0→→V=0 or →V⊥−−→OC
→V=λ1−−→OA+λ2−−→OB+λ3−−→OC →V is coplanar and →V is ⊥ to −−→OB,−−→OB,−−→OC Which is not possible So →V=0
