The position vector of points A and B are `6bar"a" + 2bar"b"` and `bar"a" - 3bar"b"`. If the point C divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2, show that the position vector of C is `3bar"a" - bar"b"`.
उत्तर
Let `bar"c"` be the position vector of C.
Since C divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2,
`bar"c" = (3 (bar"a" - 3bar"b") + 2(6bar"a" + 2bar"b"))/(3 + 2)`
`= (3bar"a" - 9bar"b" + 12bar"a" + 4bar"b")/5`
`= 1/5 (15bar"a" - 5bar"b")`
`= 3bar"a" - bar"b"`
Hence, the position vector of C is `3bar"a" - bar"b"`.
