Let

a, b

and

c

be distinct non-negative numbers and the vectors

a \hat{\mathbf{i}}+a \hat{\mathbf{j}}+c \hat{\mathbf{k}}, \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}}, c \hat{\mathbf{i}}+c \hat{\mathbf{j}}+b \hat{\mathbf{k}}

lie in a plane, then the quadratic equation

a x^2+2 c x+b=0

has

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

real and equal roots

Option A is correct because the condition for coplanarity leads to

c^2 = ab

, which implies the discriminant of the quadratic equation is zero, resulting in real and equal roots.
