Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3:4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, Let AD and BE intersect at P. Let A,B,C,D,E,P have position vectors a→,b→,c→,d→,e→,p→ respectively. D and E divide segments BC and CA internally in the ratio 2:1. By the section formula for internal division,…
