If \(\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}, \bar{d}\) are the position vectors of the points \(A, B, C, D\) respectively such that
\(3 \bar{a}-\bar{b}+2 \bar{c}-4 \bar{d}=\overline{0}\), then the position vector of the point of intersection of the line
segments \(A C\) and \(B D\) is

  1. A \(\frac{\bar{b}+3 \bar{d}}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3 \bar{a}+\bar{c}}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\bar{a}+\bar{c}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\bar{b}+4 \bar{d}}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\bar{b}+4 \bar{d}}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(3 \bar{a}-\bar{b}+2 \bar{c}-4 \bar{d}\)
\(\begin{aligned} 3 \bar{a}+2 \bar{c} &=\bar{b}+4 \bar{d} \\ \therefore & \frac{3 \bar{a}+2 \bar{c}}{3+2} \end{aligned}=\frac{\bar{b}+4 \bar{d}}{1+4}\)
\(\therefore \frac{3 \bar{a}+2 \bar{c}}{5}=\frac{\bar{b}+4 \bar{d}}{5}\)
