    Let \[\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma \] be distinct real numbers. The points with position vectors \[\alpha \hat{i}+\beta \hat{j}+\gamma \hat{k},\beta \hat{i}+\gamma \hat{j}+\alpha \hat{k}\] and \[\gamma \hat{i}+\alpha \hat{j}+\beta \hat{k}\]

    A) Are collinear

    B) Form an equilateral triangle

    C) Form a scalene triangle

    D) Form a right-angled triangle

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\alpha ,\beta \] and \[\gamma \] be distinct real numbers \[\alpha \hat{i}+\beta \hat{j}+\gamma \hat{k};\beta \hat{i}+\gamma \hat{j}+\alpha \hat{k};\gamma \hat{i}+\alpha \hat{j}+\beta \hat{k}\] \[\vec{\alpha },\vec{b}\] and \[\vec{c}\] are collinear If \[a=\alpha ,\beta =\beta ,c=\gamma (\because \alpha =\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\]
