The position vectors of the points \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}\) are \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}\) respectively. If the position vector of the point \(C\) is \(\frac{\vec{a}}{2}+\frac{\vec{b}}{3}\), then

  1. A \(C\) lies inside \(\triangle \mathrm{OAB}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}\) lies outside \(\triangle \mathrm{OAB}\) but inside \(\angle \mathrm{AOB}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}\) lies outside \(\triangle \mathrm{OAB}\) but inside \(\angle \mathrm{OAB}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}\) lies outside \(\triangle \mathrm{OAB}\) but inside \(\angle \mathrm{OBA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(C\) lies inside \(\triangle \mathrm{OAB}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{O C}=\frac{\vec{a}}{2}+\frac{\vec{b}}{3}\) Let \(D\) is mid point of \(O A\), \(\overrightarrow{O D}=\frac{\vec{a}}{2}\) Let \(E\) is a point dividing \(O B\) in \(1: 2\) \(\therefore \quad \overrightarrow{O E}=\frac{\vec{b}}{3}\) Clearly…
