Solution
The correct option is B△ABC is right angle triangle Given : (5a−12b)→x+(26b−10c)→y+(12c−13a)(→x×→y)=→0,
As, →x,→y,→x×→y are non-coplanar, i.e. linearly independent
So, all scalars should be zero ⇒5a−12b=26b−10c=12c−13a=0⇒5a=12b,13b=5c,12c=13a⇒a12=b5=c13=k⇒a=12k,b=5k,c=13k
As, c2=a2+b2
So, △ABC is a right angle triangle and ∠C=90∘
