Solution

The correct option is B 2

The points are collinear if the area of the triangle formed by these three points is zero.
Let the points be
A(3,5), B(m,6) and C(12,152)

arABC=12[x1(y2y3)+x2(y3y1)+x3(y1y2)]

Substituting the values

12[3(6152)+m(1525)+12(56)]=0
3(32)+5m212=0
9212+5m2=0
102+5m2=0
5m=10m=2
