Question

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are three non-zero vectors, no two of which are collinear and the vector $\vec{a} + \vec{b}$ is collinear with $\vec{c}, \vec{b} + \vec{c}$ is collinear with $\vec{a},$ then $\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} =$
(a) $\vec{a}$

(b) $\vec{b}$

(c) $\vec{c}$

(d) none of these

Solution

(d) None of these

$\vec{a} + \vec{b}$ is collinear with $\vec{c}$

$∴ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = x \vec{c} . . . . . (1)$

where x is scalar and x ≠ 0.

$\vec{b} + \vec{c}$ is collinear with $\vec{a}$

$\vec{b} + \vec{c} = y \vec{a} . . . . . (2)$

y is scalar and y ≠ 0

Substracting (2) from (1) we get,

$\begin{array}{l} \vec{a} - \vec{c} = x \vec{c} - y \vec{a} \\ \vec{a} (1 + y) = (1 + x) \vec{c} \end{array}$

As given $\vec{a}, \vec{c}$ are not collinear,

∴ 1 + y = 0 and 1 + x = 0

y = −1 and x = −1

Putting value of x in equation (1)

$\begin{array}{l} \vec{a} + \vec{b} = - \vec{c} \\ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0 \end{array}$
