Exercise 10.2

If \[\overrightarrow{a}\] and \[\overrightarrow{b}\] are two collinear vectors, then which of the following are incorrect: A. \[\overrightarrow{b}=\lambda \overrightarrow{a}\], for some scalar \[\lambda \] B. \[\overrightarrow{a}=\pm \overrightarrow{b}\] C. the respective components of \[\overrightarrow{a}\] and \[\overrightarrow{b}\] are proportional D. both the vectors \[\overrightarrow{a}\] and \[\overrightarrow{b}\] have same direction, but different magnitudes

Show that the points A, B and C with position vectors, \[\overrightarrow{a}=3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j}-4\widehat{k}\] , \[\overrightarrow{b}=2\widehat{i}-\widehat{j}+\widehat{k}\] and \[\overrightarrow{c}=\widehat{i}-3\widehat{j}-5\widehat{k}\] ,respectively form the vertices of a right angled triangle.

We know Given position vectors of points A, B, and C are: Hence, proved that the given points form the vertices of a right angled triangle.
