If \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) are three non-coplanar vectors, then the vector equation \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}}=(1-p-q) \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}+p \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+q \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) represents a :

  1. A straight line
  2. B plane
  3. C plane passing through the origin
  4. D sphere
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) plane

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}}=(1-p-q) \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}+p \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+q \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) where \(p, q\) are scalars. It represents an equation of the plane.
