Given three non-zero, non-coplanar vectors →a,→b and →c. →r1=p→a+q→b+→c and →r2=→a+p→b+q→c. If the vectors →r1+2→r2 and 2→r1+→r2 are collinear, then (p,q) is

Solution
The correct option is D(1,1) →r1+2→r2=(p→a+q→b+→c)+2(→a+p→b+q→c)=(p+2)→a+(q+2p)→b+(1+2q)c 2→r1+→r2=(2p+1)→a+(2q+p)→b+(2+q)→c p+22p+1=q+2p2q+p=1+2q2+q ⇒p+q+2p+2q+3p+q+2p+2q+3=1 ⇒p=1 and q=1
