Find the position vector of a point R w...

Find the position vector of a point `R` which divides the line joining the two points `P` and `Q` with position vectors `vec(OP)=2veca+vecb` and `vec(OQ)=veca-2vecb`, respectively in the ratio `1:2` internally and externally.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
it divide internally in ratio `1:2`
So,`R=(OP+10Q)/3 ​`
`​R=(3a+2b+a−2b)/3 ​=(4a)/3`
​ And,
...
