Solution

The correct option is C Three collinear points
Let
z1=x1+iy1
z2=x2+iy2
z3=x3+iy3
Area of Δ formed by z1,z2 &z3
=12∣ ∣ ∣x1y11x2y21x3y31∣ ∣ ∣
R1=R1R2
Area =12∣ ∣ ∣x1x2y1y20x2y21x3y31∣ ∣ ∣
R3=R3R2
Area=12∣ ∣ ∣x1x2y1y20x2y21x3x2y3y20∣ ∣ ∣(i)
2z13z2+z3=0
2z12z2z2+z3=0
z3z2=2(z2z1)x3x2=2(x2x1) ; y3y2=2(y2y1)
Area=12∣ ∣ ∣x1x2y1y20x2y212(x1x2)2(y1y2)0∣ ∣ ∣
Area=22∣ ∣ ∣x1x2y1y20x2y21x1x2y1y20∣ ∣ ∣=0(RowsR1&R3areidentical)
Since Area=0 z1,z2&z3 are collinear
