Let \(A(3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}})\) and \(B(13 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+9 \hat{\mathbf{k}})\) be two points on a line \(L\). \(C\) and \(D\) be the points on \(L\) on either side of \(A\) at distance of 9 and 6 units respectively and \(C\) lies between \(A\) and \(B\). Then position vectors of \(C\) and \(D\) are respectively

  1. A \(-3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}, 7 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)
  2. B \(9 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}, 7 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)
  3. C \(-3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k},-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\)
  4. D \(9 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k},-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(9 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k},-\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{gathered}\text { Given, } A(3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}}) \text { and } B(13 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+9 \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \\ A B=\sqrt{10^2+5^2+10^2}=15\end{gathered}\)…
