If \(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}, \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\) are the position vectors of the points \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) respectively, \(\mathrm{C}\) divides \(\mathrm{AB}\) in the ratio \(2: 3\) and \(\mathrm{M}\) is the mid-point of \(\mathrm{AB}\), then 5 (position vector of \(C)-2(\) position vector of \(M)=\)

  1. A \(5 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)
  2. B \(11 \hat{i}-13 \hat{j}-11 \hat{k}\)
  3. C \(5 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\)
  4. D \(11 \hat{i}+13 \hat{j}-11 \hat{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

P.V. of point A and B are \((2,-1,1)\) and \((1,-3,-5), C\) divides \(A B\) in the ratio \(2: 3\) and \(M\) is the mid-point of \(A B\) \(\Rightarrow 5(\overline{\mathrm{OC}})=(8,-9,-7)\) and \(2(\overline{\mathrm{OM}})=(3,-4,-4)\) Now…
