Question

Which of the following vectors are collinear in the figure given below?

(a) \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{d}\)

(b) \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{d}\)

(c) \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{d}\)

(d) \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{d}\)

I have been asked this question during an online exam.

Question is from Types of Vectors topic in section Vector Algebra of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{d}\)

For explanation I would say: Collinear vectors are those vectors which are parallel to the same line irrespective of the magnitude and direction. In the given figure, \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{d}\) are collinear vectors.
