If the vector a = (1,2), B = (x, 1), and a + 2b is parallel to 2a-b, then x equals () A. 1B. -2C. 13D. 12

If the vector a = (1,2), B = (x, 1), and a + 2b is parallel to 2a-b, then x equals () A. 1B. -2C. 13D. 12

From the meaning of the title, we can get a + 2B = (1 + 2x, 4), 2a-b = (2-x, 3), because a + 2b is parallel to 2a-b, so 3 (1 + 2x) - 4 (2-x) = 0. Solving this equation, we can get x = 12, so we choose D
