Questions  

Consider three points  P(cosα,sinβ), Q(sinα,cosβ) and  R(0,0).  Where 0<α,β<π/4 Then 

a
P  lies on the line segment RQ
b
Q lies on the line segment PQ
c
R lies on the line segment QP
d
P, Q, R  are non-collinear.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Consider Δ=cos⁡αsin⁡β1sin⁡αcos⁡β1001=cos⁡αcos⁡β−sin⁡αsin⁡β=cos⁡(α+β)≠0  as  0<α+β<π/2Hence the given points are non-collinear.
