उत्तर
(i) The three vectors are coplanar if one of them is expressible as a linear combination of the other two . Let \[5 \vec{a} + 6 \vec{b} + 7 \vec{c} = x \left( 7 \vec{a} - 8 \vec{b} + 9 c^\rightharpoonup \right) + y \left( 3 \vec{a} + 20 \vec{b} + 5 \vec{c} \right) . \]
\[ = \vec{a} \left( 7x + 3y \right) + \vec{b} \left( - 8x + 20y \right) + \vec{c} \left( 9x + 5y \right) .\]
\[\Rightarrow 7x + 3y = 5, - 8x + 20y = 6\text{ and }9x + 5y = 7 .\]
Solving first two of these equations, we get \[x = \frac{1}{2}, y = \frac{1}{2}\]. Clearly, these values of x and y satisfies the third equation.
Hence, the given vectors are coplanar.
(ii) The three vectors are coplanar if one of them is expressible as a linear combination of the other two.
Let \[\vec{a} - 2 \vec{b} + 3 \vec{c} = x ( - 3 \vec{b} + 5 \vec{c} ) + y ( - 2 \vec{a} + 3 \vec{b} - 4 \vec{c} ) . \]
\[ = \vec{a} ( - 2y) + \vec{b} ( - 3x + 3y) + \vec{c} (5x - 4y) .\]
\[\Rightarrow - 2y = 1, - 3x + 3y = - 2\text{ and }5x - 4y = 3\]
Solving first two of these equations, we get \[x = \frac{1}{6}, y = - \frac{1}{2}\]
These values of x and y does not satisfy the third equation.
Hence, the given vectors are not coplanar.
