Consider the vectors $u = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j} + c \hat{k}$,$v = a^2 \hat{i} + b^2 \hat{j} + c^2 \hat{k}$ and $w = a^3 \hat{i} + b^3 \hat{j} + c^3 \hat{k}$. These vectors are coplanar if and only if

  • A
    all $a, b$ and $c$ are equal
  • B
    one of $a, b$ and $c$ is zero
  • C
    any two of $a, b$ and $c$ are equal
  • D
    either one of $a, b$ and $c$ is zero,or any two of $a, b$ and $c$ are equal
