    If \[{{z}_{1}}=1+2i,{{z}_{2}}=2+3i,{{z}_{3}}=3+4i,\] then \[{{z}_{1}},{{z}_{2}},{{z}_{3}}\] represent the vertices of a/an [Orissa JEE 2004]

    A) Equilateral triangle

    B) Isosceles triangle 

    C) Right angled triangle

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{z}_{1}}=1+2i,\ {{z}_{2}}=2+3i,\ {{z}_{3}}=3+4i\]      \[|{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}|\ =\ |-1-i|\ =\sqrt{2}\] and \[|{{z}_{2}}-{{z}_{3}}|\ =\ -1-i=\sqrt{2}\]. and \[|{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{3}}|\ =\ |-2-2i|\ =\ 2\sqrt{2}\]. Hence vertices are collinear.
