Question

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
Answer :   are collinear
Solution :
$$\alpha ,\,\beta $$  and $$\gamma $$ be distinct real numbers
$$\alpha \hat i + \beta \hat j + \gamma \hat k\,;\,\beta \hat i + \gamma \hat j + \alpha \hat k\,;\,\gamma \hat i + \alpha \hat j + \beta \hat k$$
$$\overrightarrow a ,\,\overrightarrow b $$  and $$\overrightarrow c $$ are collinear
If $$a = \alpha ,\,b = \beta ,\,c = \gamma \,\,\,\left( {\because \,\alpha = \hat i + \hat j + \hat k} \right)$$
