The position vectors of \(P\) and \(Q\) are respectively \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}\). If \(\mathrm{R}\) is a point on \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PQ}}\) such that \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PR}}=5 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{PQ}}\), then the position vector of \(R\) is

  1. A \(5 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}-4 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}\)
  2. B \(5 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+4 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}\)
  3. C \(4 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}-5 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}\)
  4. D \(4 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+5 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}-4 \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, It mean \(R\) divides \(P Q\) externally in the ratio \(5: 4\).…
