There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE questions.
5. (a) Prove that the area of the triangle formed by joining the mid-point of one of the
non-parallel sides of a trapezium to the extremities of the opposite side is half of that of
the trapezium. (15)
(b) Show that the vectors A = 2i + j - 3k, B = i - 4k and C = 4i + 3j - k are linearly
dependent. Determine a relation among them and hence show that the terminal points
are collinear. (10)
(c) A force of 15 units acts through point A (4, I, -3) in the direction of the vector (3,
I, 5). Find its moment about the point B (2, -3, -I) and the moment about axes
through that point parallel to the co-ordinate axes. (10)
6. (a) If P = Acos kl + Bsin!d, where A and B are constant vectors and k, a constant
