The position vector of a point R which divides the line joining the points A(-2, 1, 3) and B(3, 5, -2) internally in the ratio 2:1, is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

By the section formula for internal division in ratio m:n=2:1m:n = 2:1, r⃗=2b⃗+a⃗3=(6,10,−4)+(−2,1,3)3=43i^+113j^−13k^\vec{r} = \frac{2\vec{b}+\vec{a}}{3} = \frac{(6,10,-4)+(-2,1,3)}{3} = \frac{4}{3}\hat{i} + \frac{11}{3}\hat{j} - \frac{1}{3}\hat{k}.
