Solution

The correct option is A A, B and C are collinear
It is given that $\to A O + \to O B = \to B O + \to O C$ .
Let’s take O as the origin.
$\to A O = - \to O A$ = -position vector of point A
$\to B O = - \to O B$ = -position vector of point B
So $\to A O + \to O B = \to B O + \to O C$
$\Rightarrow - \to O A + \to O B = - \to O B + \to O C$
$\to O B - \to O A = \to O C - \to O B$
$\to O B - \to O A = \to A B$
$\to O C - \to O B = \to B C$ [Using triangle law of addition]
So $\to A B = \to B C$
$\Rightarrow \to A B i s p a r a l l e l t o \to B C$ .
But $\to A B$ and $\to B C$ have a point $\to B$ in common.
$\Rightarrow \to A B a n d \to A C a r e s a m e l i n e s$
$\Rightarrow \to A B a n d \to A C a r e c o l l i n e a r v e c t o r s$
$\Rightarrow A, B a n d C a r e c o l l i n e a r$ .
