Assertion (A) a, b, c, d are position vectors of 4 points such that \(2 \mathbf{a}-3 \mathbf{b}+7 \mathbf{c}-6 \mathbf{d}=0 \Rightarrow\) \(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}, \mathbf{d}\) are coplanar. Reason (R) Vector equation of the plane passing through three points whose position vectors are \(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}\) is \(\mathbf{r}=(1-x-y) \mathbf{a}+x \mathbf{b}+y \mathbf{c}\). Which of the following is true?

  1. A Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are true and \((R)\) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. B Both \((A)\) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of \((A)\)
  3. C \((A)\) is true, but \((R)\) is false
  4. D \((A)\) is false, but \((R)\) is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are true and \((R)\) is the correct explanation of (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vector equation of plane passing through three non-collinear points is \[ \mathbf{r}=(1-x-y) \mathbf{a}+x \mathbf{b}+y \mathbf{c} \] If \(a, b, c, d\) are coplanar, then \(\mathbf{d}\) should satisfy Eq. (i) for some \(x, y\)…
