It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0

? b and c

( s i n x c o s x ) s i n 2 x t a n x ( s i n 3 x + c o s 3 x ) d x

( s i n x c o s x ) s i n x c o s x s i n 3 x + c o s 3 x d x , put sin3x + cos3x = t(3 sin2x×cosx – 3cos2xsinx) dx = dt

-> 1 3 d t t

= l n t 3 + c

= l n | s i n 3 x + c o s 3 x | 3 + c
