Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the line joining the points with position vectors \(-2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) and \(7 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) be divide in the ratio \(\lambda: 1\) by \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\).…
