Q24 / 100 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Vector Algebra

Let x→ and y→ are 2 non-zero and non-collinear vectors, then the largest value of k such that the non-zero vectors k2-5k+6x→+k-3y→ and 2x→+5y→ are collinear is

  • A
    3
  • B
    6
  • Correct answer
    C
    125
  • D
    -1

Solution

Let, a→=k2-5k+6x→+k-3y→
and b→=2x→+5y→
∵a→ and b→ are collinear vectors
⇒k2-5k+62=k-35
⇒k=3,125 

But, for k=3, a→=0 (not possible)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
