If the vectors \(\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}-p \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=-6 \hat{i}+14 \hat{j}+q \hat{k}\) are collinear, then the value of \(p\) and \(q\) are :

  1. A \(p=-7, q=18\)
  2. B \(p=7, q=-20\)
  3. C \(p=7, q=-10\)
  4. D \(p=-7, q=5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(p=7, q=-10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{3}{-6} = \frac{-p}{14} = \frac{5}{q}\) \(\frac{3}{-6} = -\frac{1}{2}\) \(\frac{-p}{14} = -\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow -p = -7 \Rightarrow p=7\) \(\frac{5}{q} = -\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow q = -10\) \(p=7, q=-10\)
