List of top Mathematics Questions on Collinearity of points asked in CBSE Class XII

Let three toys A, B and C be placed in the same straight line. If the position vectors of A, B and C are \( 55\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} \), \( 5\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} \) and \( a\hat{i} - 52\hat{j} \) respectively, find the value of ‘a’.

Let three toys A, B and C be placed in the same straight line. If the position vectors of A, B and C are \( 55\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} \), \( 5\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} \) and \( a\hat{i} - 52\hat{j} \) respectively, find the value of 'a'.

If points (2, 3), (0, 4) and (p, 2) are collinear, then the value of p is :

The value of \( m \) for which the points with position vectors \( -\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \), \( 2\hat{i} + m\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \) and \( 3\hat{i} + 11\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} \) are collinear, is

If the points \((2, 3)\), \((0, 4)\) and \((p, 2)\) are collinear, then the value of \(p\) is:

Assertion (A) : The vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( (-2\vec{a}) \), where \( \vec{a} \neq \vec{0} \), are collinear vectors.
Reason (R) : \( \vec{a} \cdot (-2\vec{a}) = 0 \).
