Let \(\mathrm{ABC}\) be a triangle and \(\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}\) be the position vectors of \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\) respectively, Let \(\mathrm{D}\) divide \(\mathrm{BC}\) in the ratio \(3: 1\) internally and \(\mathrm{E}\) divide \(\mathrm{AD}\) in the ratio \(4: 1\) internally. Let \(\mathrm{BE}\) meet \(\mathrm{AC}\) in \(\mathrm{F}\). If \(\mathrm{E}\) divides \(\mathrm{BF}\) in the ratio \(3: 2\) internally then the position vector of \(\mathrm{F}\) is

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