Solution

The correct option is E $\to 0$
Since, $O$ is the intersecting point of all the medians of $Δ A B C$ .
Hence, $Q = \frac{a + b + c}{3}$
Now, $\to Q A = a - \frac{a + b + c}{3}$
$= \frac{2 a - b - c}{3}$
Similarly, $\to Q B = \frac{2 b - a - c}{3}$
and $\to Q C = \frac{2 c - a - b}{3}$
Hence, $\to Q A + \to Q B + \to Q C = \frac{2 a - b - c}{3} + \frac{2 b - a - c}{3} + \frac{2 c - a - b}{3} = 0$
