    If the position vectors of the points A, B, C, D be \[2\mathbf{i}+3\mathbf{j}+5\mathbf{k},\] \[\mathbf{i}+2\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k},\,\,-5\mathbf{i}+4\mathbf{j}-2\mathbf{k}\] and \[\mathbf{i}+10\mathbf{j}+10\mathbf{k}\] respectively, then                                                                                        [MNR 1982]

    A) \[\overrightarrow{AB}=\overrightarrow{CD}\]

    B) \[\overrightarrow{AB}\,\,\,|\,\,|\,\,\,\overrightarrow{\,CD}\]

    C) \[\overrightarrow{AB}\,\,\bot \,\,\overrightarrow{CD}\]   

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\overrightarrow{AB}=-\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}-2\mathbf{k}\] and \[\overrightarrow{CD}=6\mathbf{i}+6\mathbf{j}+12\mathbf{k}\] Hence, \[\overrightarrow{AB}||\overrightarrow{CD}.\]
