MCQ
If vectors $(\text{x}-2)\ \vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}$ and $(2\text{x}+1)\ \vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}$ are parallel then x:
  • $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $-3$
  • D
    $\frac{-1}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{3}$
As vectors (x - 2) a + b and (2x + 1) a - b are parallel.

$\frac{\text{x}-2}{2\text{x}+1}=-1$

$\Rightarrow\text{x - 2}=-2\text{x}-1$

$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{1}{3}$
