Consider three points P=(- ( - ),- ), Q=( ( - ), ) and R=( ( - + ), ( - ) , where 0 < , , < 4 . Then,
Options
- AP lies on the line segment R Q
- BQ lies on the line segment P R
- CR lies on the line segment Q P
- DP, Q, R are non- collinear
Correct answer
D. P, Q, R are non- collinear
Step-by-step solution
For collinear points = | array ccc - ( - ) & - & 1 ( - ) & & 1 ( - + ) & ( - ) & 1 array | Clearly, 0 for any value of , , , hence points are non-collinear.
