If \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) represent two non collinear vectors, the equation \(\mathbf{r}=t \mathbf{a}+(\mathrm{l}-t) \mathbf{b}\) represents

  1. A a point on the third side of a triangle for which \(a, b\) are two sides, only when \(0 \leq t \leq 1\)
  2. B a point on the line joining the points whose position vectors are a and b
  3. C a vector in the plane of \(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}\) only when \(t>1\)
  4. D a vector in the plane parallel to the plane of a and b, only when \(-1 \leq t \leq 1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) a point on the third side of a triangle for which \(a, b\) are two sides, only when \(0 \leq t \leq 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\mathbf{r}=t \mathbf{a}+(\mathbf{l}-t) \mathbf{b}\), where \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) are two non collinear vector, \(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{b}=t(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b})\) Clearly, \(\mathbf{r}\) is a point on the third side of triangle where…
