If \(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}, 2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k},-3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\) are the position vectors of three points A, B, C respectively, then \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\)

  1. A are collinear points
  2. B form an isosceles triangle which is not equilateral
  3. C form an equilateral triangle
  4. D form a scalene triangle
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) form an equilateral triangle

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{A B}=\hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}, \overrightarrow{B C}=-5 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-\hat{k}\) \(\overrightarrow{A C}=-4 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-5 \hat{k} \quad \therefore|\overrightarrow{A B}|=|\overrightarrow{B C}|=|\overrightarrow{A C}|=\sqrt{42}\) \(\therefore A, B, C\)…
