Question

Assertion :Points P(sin(βα),cosβ),Q(cos(βα),sinβ) and R(cos(βα+θ),sin(βθ)), where β=π4+α2 are non-collinear. Reason: Three given points are non-collinear if they form a triangle of non-zero area.

Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct
Reason is wrong as three points are collinear when area of triangle formed is zero.
Area of triangle PQR
=12∣ ∣ ∣sin(βα)cosβ1cos(βα)sinβ1cos(βα+θ)sin(βθ)1∣ ∣ ∣=12∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣sin(π4+α2α)cos(π4+α2)1cos(π4+α2α)sin(π4+α2)1cos(π4+α2α+θ)sin(π4+α2θ)1∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣=12∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣sin(π4α2)cos(π4+α2)1cos(π4α2)sin(π4+α2)1cos(π4α2+θ)sin(π4+α2θ)1∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
Applying R2R2R1,R3R3R1
=12∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣sin(π4α2)cos(π4+α2)1cos(π4α2)+sin(π4α2)sin(π4+α2)+cos(π4+α2)0cos(π4α2+θ)+sin(π4α2)sin(π4+α2θ)+cos(π4+α2)0∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
=12(cos(π4α2)+sin(π4α2))(cos(π4α2+θ)+sin(π4α2))×
∣ ∣ ∣ ∣sin(π4α2)cos(π4+α2)1110110∣ ∣ ∣ ∣=0
Hence point P,Q and R are collinear
Therefore assertion is wrong.
