Find the position vector of the point which divides the join of the points `(2veca - 3vecb)` and `(3veca - 2vecb)` (i) internally and (ii) externally in the ratio `2 : 3` .

A

`(12)/(5)a+(13)/(5)b`

B

`(12)/(5)a-(13)/(5)b`

C

`(3)/(5)a-(2)/(5)b`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Position vectors of the points which divides internally is
`(3(2a-3b)+2(3a-2b))/(5)=(12a-13b)/(5)`
