If the points Pi=ai3ai-1,ai2-3ai-1, i = 1, 2, 3, , are collinear and a1, a2 and a3 are distinct real numbers, then

a
a1a2a3-∑a1a2-3∑a1=0
b
a1a2a3+∑a1a2-3∑a1=0
c
a1a2a3-∑a1a2+3∑a1=0
d
-a1a2a3+∑a1a2-3∑a1=0

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Let the given points lie on the line lx + my + n = 0∴ai3a1-1+mai2-3ai-1+n=0⇒lai3+mai2+nai-3m-n=0∴∑a1=-ml,∑a1a2=nl  and  a1a2a3=3m+nl∴a1a2a3-∑a1a2+3∑a1=0
