In a triangle

A B C

, right angled at the vertex

A

, if the position vectors of

A, B

and

C

are respectively

3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k},-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+p \hat{k}

and

5 \hat{i}+q \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}

, then the point

(p, q)

lies on a line

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

making an acute angle with the positive direction of

x

-axis

Option B (making an acute angle with the positive direction of x-axis) is correct because the equation of the line on which (p, q) lies has a positive slope, indicating an acute angle with the x-axis.
