and 
are not in proportion
and are not in proportion
B
lie on the same line
C
do not lie on the same line
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
: Given points are 
and 
.
Direction ratios of 
are 
, i.e., 
, 
)
Direction ratios of 
are 
, i.e., (6, 10,6)
As 
, therefore the direction ratios of 
and 
are proportional.
Hence, 
and 
are parallel but they have a point 
in common. Therefore 
and 
are along the same line i.e., 
and 
are collinear.
