Let a, b and c are 3 non zero vectors such that no 2 of these are collinear. If vector a + 2b is collinear with c and b + 3c is collinear with a (l being some non zero scalar) then
a + 2b + 6c equals

  1. A \(\lambda \mathbf{a}\)

(D) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given a, b and c are non zero vectors such that no two of these are collinear. a + 2b is collinear with c and b + 3c is collinear with a. To Find a + 2b + 6c Since, a + 2b is collinear with c. \(\Rightarrow \quad \mathbf{a}+2 \mathbf{b}=m \mathbf{c}...(i)\) where m is non zero…
