Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A=(2,-5,3)\), \(B=(-1,-8,0)\), \(P=(0,-7,1)\) Let P divide AB in ratio \(\lambda:1\): \(\frac{2+\lambda(-1)}{1+\lambda} = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda=2\) Q divides AB in ratio \(-\lambda:1\): \(Q = \frac{1 \cdot A + (-\lambda) \cdot B}{1-\lambda} = \frac{A-2B}{-1} = 2B-A\)…
