Solution

The correct option is D None of these
Given, $3 \to a + 4 \to b + 5 \to c = 0$
They are coplanar
$\to a = - \frac{5}{3} \to c - \frac{4}{3} \to b$
$\to a . \to b = - \frac{5}{3} \to c . \to b - \frac{4}{3} \to b . \to b = - \frac{5}{3} \to c . \to b - \frac{4}{3}$
Since $\to a . \to b$ cant be equal to 1 So $\to a$ cant be parellel to $\to b$
$\to a . \to b$ can be equal to zero but not strictly
So, $\to a$ cant be strictly perpendicular to $\to b$
So, answer is option D.
