Question:

In quadrilateral ABCD, $\vec{AB} = \vec{a},\ \vec{BC} = \vec{b},\ \vec{DA} = \vec{a} - \vec{b}$. M is midpoint of BC and X lies on DM such that $\vec{DX} = \dfrac{4}{5}\vec{DM}$. Then the points A, X and C:

  • form an equilateral triangle
  • are collinear
  • form an isosceles triangle
  • form a right angled triangle

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given vectors and placement imply point X divides line DM internally in 4:1 ratio. If A, X and C lie on the same straight line vectorially, their vectors are linearly dependent, proving collinearity.
