If \(a(\alpha \times \beta)+b(\beta \times \gamma)+c(\gamma \times \alpha)=0\) and atleast one of the scalars \(a, b, c\) is non-zero, then the vectors \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\) are

  1. A parallel
  2. B non coplanar
  3. C coplanar
  4. D mutually perpendicular
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) coplanar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(a(\alpha \times \beta)+b(\beta \times \gamma)+c(\gamma \times \alpha)=0\) On taking dot product of \(\alpha\) with the given cross product, we get…
