A line segment PQ has the length 63 and direction ratios \((3,-2,6)\). If this line makes an obtuse angle with X -axis, then the components of the vector \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) are

  1. A \(7,8,-4\)
  2. B \(-7,8,-4\)
  3. C \(27,-18,54\)
  4. D \(-27,18,-54\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-27,18,-54\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{Magnitude of direction ratios } = \sqrt{3^2 + (-2)^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{9+4+36} = \sqrt{49} = 7\) \(\text{Scaling factor } k = \frac{\text{Length}}{\text{Magnitude of direction ratios}} = \frac{63}{7} = 9\)…
