If the point \((3,4,5)\) divides the line segment joining the points \((1,2,3)\) and \((4,5,6)\) in the ratio \(\lambda: 1\), then the point which divides the line segment joining the points \((3,4,5)\) and \((1,2,3)\) in the ratio \(-1: \lambda\) is

  1. A \((6,7,8)\)
  2. B \((5,6,7)\)
  3. C \((-4,-5,-6)\)
  4. D \((-5,-6,-7)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((5,6,7)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore \quad \frac{4 \lambda+1}{\lambda+1}=3 \Rightarrow \lambda=2\) According to question, Required point \(=\left(\frac{3 \lambda-1}{\lambda-1}, \frac{4 \lambda-2}{\lambda-1}, \frac{5 \lambda-3}{\lambda-1}\right)\)…
