Solution

The correct option is D $0$
As $\to a + 3 \to b$ is collinear with $\to c$ ;
$\to a + 3 \to b = λ \to c \dots (i)$
As $\to b + 2 \to c$ is collinear with $\to a$ ;
$\to b + 2 \to c = μ \to a \dots (i i)$
From $(i)$ we have $\to a + 3 \to b + 6 \to c = (λ + 6) \to c \dots (i i i)$
and from $(i i)$ we have $\to a + 3 \to b + 6 \to c = (1 + 3 μ) \to a \dots (i v)$
Since $\to a$ is non collinear with $\to c$ we have $λ + 6 = 1 + 3 μ = 0$
hence from $(i i i)$ or $(i v)$ we have $\to a + 3 \to b + 6 \to c = 0$
